Re: Parts for D104M6B
Barjan acquired Astatic in May of 2006 and the mic has been made overseas (China) ever since. You can try contacting Barjan in Rock Island, Ill., but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for an answer.

Yes I do remember reading somewhere that Barjan was under restructuring and TSC Group was their parent company. I guess in a few months most of their stuff will be repackaged and sold under another name.

Re: Parts for D104M6B
i recently found a replacement PTT switch for my astatic 575m6b.
I took the PTT switch out of a SUPERSTAR hand held power mic and it fit and worked great.
You may wanna just look for any old hand held mic and might get lucky and find a switch that will work.
I searched all over the net for a switch for my 575 then, I just started taking apart old mics i had lying around and found the switch .
it dont nessessarily have to be from the same manufacture to work,
if its the same size and has the same number of pins and fits, try it and see what happens.
I did order a PTT switch off the internet but, it was for the older 575 , not the newer one.
aparently the switch they sent me will fit either an Astatic 575 ( old version ) or a Turner plus 3 hand held mic.

Re: Parts for D104M6B
Replacement key up switches for the D104M6B and the RD104/575-M6 are now available.
I've been looking for a couple of years for them and thought I would share them when I found them.

do a seller search on the auction site-if I am correct I cannot post a link or even name which site it is.

Re: Parts for D104M6B
thanks PA629-for the endorsement and the purchase!
I do not believe Ken's electronics is still in business, if he is then he does not take orders
on the internet or does he respond to emails.
