My suggestion would be to sell it, with the note that cable is
"crispy" and should be replaced. <br>
You may end up spending more on a replacement cable than you get for
the microphone!!<br>

new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt">Going through
my assorted microphones - cleaning up, checking operation and
generally getting them ready to put on the market. Now working
on a Shure CB41 desk microphone (circa mid-1970s) (Heathkit sold
a version for their radios) and the coiled cable is in pretty
bad shape. For some reason, the jacket breaks apart when it is
bent and even the insulation on the inner wire(s) are pretty
darned fragile. The audio line's (which is covered with a
braided shielding) insulation will break off if you just pinch
it with your fingers. Really bad. I am going to cut it back 6"
or so later tonight and see if it is better farther in but, so
far (going up an inch or so), it is not looking good.<br>
<br>
I can, of course, sell it 'as is' and just tell folks that the
cable is bad but I would rather have some alternatives. To that
end I am looking for a source for replacement coiled cable for
the mike. It has 4 wires total - one wire (shielded) for the
audio, one wire for the ground connection and 2 wires for T/R
switching. The existing cable is a 'curly' cable which is good
but (in addition to the 'falling apart' problem) is pretty
darned stiff. <br>
<br>
I've looked on the web, checked out eBay and Amazon and found a
couple of possiblities but I certainly am open to any other
suggestions. Thanks for all comments!!<br>
