Refreshing an Astatic D-104 CB Microphone 

Hand made and the best sounding microphone ever made...

Excellent refurb!

Good refurb however I would suggest n the future taking the PTT mechanism out of the neck and burnish the connections as they oxidize over time. I have done a few of these in the past. Sei chrome does an amazing job on the chrome. I'm about to wrap a base with vinyl car wrap. we will see how it turns out.

Hello, great video. Would you know what the numbers and letters are on these Astatic microphones? T-UP9 and all the others? I have looked all over and can't find anything on it? Suree would be nice to know what these numbers and letters are on the mic stickers! Thanks.

Blessed love my brother, can you help me get two head crystals for my two D104 microphones down here in Jamaica west Indies, please an thanks !!

great stuff even if i dont like astatic stuff. :) have you ever rebuilt any of the turner desk mics? the Plus 3 or plus 2?

Thanks for the great video. I will be following this process very soon. One question - what was the fluid you used with the aluminum foil?

I just got a non powered version of this mic. Needs some TLC, but should look pretty good when I am done with it. Great vid!

Excellent work! Do you accept mail ins?

Hokey rebuild unless switches are burnished and 5mfd. capacitor replaced on PCB.

Where can I source the stand? I just bought one online and it was painted with crazy designs

I have an Astatic Silver Eagle and want to use it to record segments for my podcast. How can I modify/adapt it for that? Is that a service you provide?

Where do you find replacement parts and supplies?

when you got the clean the head what polish and what was liquid used with tin squares

Would you fix my mic, and how much would charge?

Where did you get the screws for the head?

Omg. Never lay the mic down on the head. 😖

you ruined the base with that chemical… a Brillo pad would have cleaned everything. the cord is 40 plus years old and it’s brittle, the wires inside are brittle too.
