I need to know what kind of mic and mic plug this is. Also, where can I
get an adapter so I can try it out?

The plug looks like a U-174/U (or TP-120) used in helicopters and some military aircraft.

It mates with a TJ-120.

hmm sorry, seems like my roadrunner service quit working. I'll have to
try and find a different server to put these on.

Looks like a dynamic dictation microphone. I can't read the letters on
the bottom, but that looks like a Shure logo on the front.

So what does the lettering say?

Did you look on

You know, you're really being sneaky here giving us a photo with the
lettering unreadable.

This is what is known as a NATO plug. I think the military designation
is PL-174, but if you ask for a NATO plug at your local avionics shop,
they'll know what you mean.

Scott, you need a new monitor. On my screen the lettering looks like it says
"Astatic". And your guess of a dictation microphone sounds right to me; the
extra rings on the plug probably are for the remote start-stop.

Peace,
Paul

If it's an Astatic product, then CAD will still have drawings for it.
Unbalanced high-Z, almost certainly.

yeah that's an "A" written on the front. I guess that stands fro
"Astatic". If this is a dictation microphone, I won't even bother trying
to get an adapter. Thanks everyone for your help.

oh, yeah, "astatic" is actually embossed on the other side. I didn't
even realize. Thanks again.

I have a couple of those that my neighbor who worked for General
Telephone gave me when I was a kid. They have standard 1/4" phone
plugs on them, so like Mike said, you could probably put any plug you
want on it. I haven't heard mine since having it daisey chained into
all of my band's gtr amps back in Jr.High ('74).....we thought it was
pretty bitchen then.

I've seen them on eBay touted as harmonica mikes.

But then..........
