What Mic. For My Colt Black Shadow Base?

[V8Vega]

I have a Colt SSB "Black Shadow" base that is mint (maybe NOS) in the box with everything in the orginal plastic sleeves and such...box even looks new. I've been keeping it as a collectable, but I think I'm going to run it now. What mic sounds the best on these rigs? I've been leaning toward a Turner +3, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts? I only want to do this once since the price of these old microphones is pretty high for a sweet one.

In a former lifetime I ran a Black Shadow and it sounded GREAT with my Turner +3B.

I am running a Astatic Night Eagle on mine because it is the same color scheme as the radio. You can run a d104 with an amplified stand or a Silver Eagle also. I get excellent audio reports on mine. Enjoy that radio it is one of my favorites.

TURNER PLUS 3B

Thank's for the replies. I just bought a real nice looking +3B off ebay for $80.00. I can't wait to get it. I had a +3B when I was a teenager (I'm 45). I have a Night K-Eagle on my tube Robyn and it sounds great, but I have always thought that Turners sound good on the SS stuff. It's cool to have something different to play with too. Who knows, I might wire it to my Henry 2020 just for fun.
