One of the last beautiful and good metal microphones. Just like Turner +3 and Stabo Optimike. Full metal, switch contacts almost indestructible. Of course, Kenwood sounds the best among them because it has a newer generation transducer.
I use a lot of Dawn dishwashing soap on this stuff. Thanks Len I am working on one now that looked new until I opened it up. Looks like someone wired it wrong. Traces burnt on the switch board. Plus the amp transistor has been blown apart. You never know what you are going to get from E-Bay..
Nice work, I love doing little jobs like this and keeping them going for a few more years.
All the very best Ian.

The mic head screen unscrews allowing one to fully clean the innards.
