The microphone in my old headset went TU and need a replacement.
Anybody have a working one they would like to part with?

Thanks

You could probably fix it with the electret mike from a
cheap telephone (not an old carbon-mike phone). I built a headset once
and used the mike from a $3 corded phone, no preamp or anything, and
it worked OK. Had to put a small capacitor across it to bleed off some
of the high freqencies. The mike itself was maybe 3/8" diameter, about
the same thick, and fit nicely into a holder carved of wood.
