[simpits-tech] Adapter Parts

[Brian Sikkema]

Hey guys,

Well I put some of my boxes up on eBay, and I got some questions from a guy 
who happens to be a C-130E Crew Chief, who was hoping they would work for a 
military connector. Anyway, long story short, we've been emailing back and 
forth and he said he's willing to send me a military style jack, plug, and 
possibly wiring guide for each. So naturally I told him I'd be interest, but 
before I can work on this thing I need a microphone to test it out... so I 
hopped on flightsuits.com to take a look at replacement parts, and this is 
when I noticed several problems:

There are 2 different kinds of Type 38 (one plug) connectors - regular and 
wide. Which is more common?
Also, there are 2 different kinds of microphones - dynamic, and electret. 
Again, which is more common?
And of course the last problem, the dynamic mic - JUST the element - is $28, 
and the electret is >>>$78<<<<!!!! For just the mic peice!

So basically right now I'm trying to figure out what parts I should design 
for, and I'm trying to track down a mic for cheap - I only need one, to test 
with. So any help would be appreciated, I know there's a few of you out 
there who would also like to see a military adapter, hint hint ;)

Brian
