This is round 5/16" dia mic with felt screen stuck over the small
opening.
Now mic working intermittently and had to tap even bang on it to
wake up.
Now today, I'm planning to combine my mic search with downtown
shopping, will these mic robbed from cheap headphone with mic with
1/8" jack work?
Cheers, Wizard

What kind of mike is it?
Some types are prone to "carbon granule clumping", and need to get shaken
up and beaten on occasionally.

New subject: CP/M Archive - Need disk images!
Alright, I suppose this is the proper way to do this =]
Anyone who dosn't know, I'm hoping to run up a CP/M archive.
As with all endevours of this sort, I'm in need of disk images!
Put 'em online, email 'em to me, do whatever! Get them to me,
Send minor descriptions, tell me what machines they were made for,
And most importantly, do include the disk image :)
Send away, and make me fill Jay's harddrive until it explodes =]

An old joke in the UK was to convince the chap at the other end of a
phone conversation to sing loadly into the mouthpieces to free up the
carbon granules. Didn't do a darn thing, actually, but you could get
idiots to start singing.
One of my mad[1] friends is heavily into all sorts of old technology. I
was chatting to him on the 'phone one time, and his voice started to
become indistinct. I asked him to sing into the phone. He, of course,
knew the joke. I head a few bangs, and then everything was fine again.
He'd freed up the carbon granules in his microphone.
[1] Actually, all my freinds are mad...
