Are you actually in Wis? I am in central Wis ,20 miles out of Wis dells water parks and have very few operators still on radio these days many gone silent key rest of to 2 meter etc or dropped out totally looking for more locals to have conversations with 398 Wis
Another great video from you and very interesting too. I always thought that the Turner mics looked old fashioned even back in the day. Yes Astatic Teardrop is a much better looking mic. I had a K40 mic back then too. Keep the videos coming!
Yep. That used to be king but the Astatic Road Devil is an awesome mic especially if you use just a tad bit of reverb. My only qualms with the road devil is that every six months the ptt contacts need some contact spray love. I wonder if contact cleaner spray can be bought that's on par with radio shack contact cleaner that has lubricant but I think that Deoxit 5 for guitars can be comparable. My favorite sound effect was the Missouri mule fart chip.
@@jamesl9686 yeah the D104-M6 was a mic to covet. I used to have a K40 mic with the self recharging capacitor inside. The mic parts finally gave out. I tried repairing it but it wouldn't work right.
Excellent video On Turner Road King 70 and 76 also had 9 volt not 6 or 7 volt batterie of 5 button cells and 3 ways Roger Beep ! Don't remember those one not sure year made 70 or 76 came out?

I had one pre amplified adjustable mic back in the day. They were pretty popular, they had very good strong modulation.
That's cool! Definitely unique.
I heard one several years back it sounded great but had forgotten about these
I personally love the sound of the whole overall sound..just a beautiful sound !! Tha KS for sharing!!
Unique great sounding mic. Thanks.
Very cool! Back in the 70s there was a local company named Telex here in South Eastern Pa.
I have one today. still works and I use it from time to time. would like to find documents related to this mic.
I have never seen one of these.
This is really awesome and i would love to add one to my collection for sure.

Hi 👋A you consider to sell this microphone Road king 76 thank you?
Cool mic. The "R" beep sound more like an "s" however. Still, it's a mic I wouldn't mind having in my collection.
is there a desk mic version?
Cool mic.......
Neat .
I wonder if you can still buy the 7 volt batteries.
I think you can stack some botton cells together to make one yourself
💯👍👍👍🙋♂
I hated the old battery constantly adjusting game. Like the video though.
