Thanks Alan;
In looking to the Web site link that you sent me, yup,
it could be a 214! It is gray in color like the other
mic that I have, but other than that, there is
absolutely no other identification, ie, model, or
serial number. I didn't have any Ten-Tec equipment
that I could have tried the mic out on. Both mics
have a coiled cord. Well Alan, I'll keep hoping ...
Thanks again for your help, 73, Karl, KO8S
