Subject: [TenTec] Weak Output from 706 Microphone and your recommendations.
I have a model 706 desk mic that has lost most of the out put. It still
has output, but I must run the Mic Gain on the Orion 1 up to 50 to 75,
and it will drive the VOX marginally. I have replaced the element with
one I purchased from Ten Tec. Still the out put level is very low. I
just checked with Paul Clinton in the Service Department on purchasing a
new board. He tells me the boards are not available, but he could run
it through the shop at $60.00 an hour. Probably in the neighborhood of
$120.00 for the repair.
So, the question is, has any one had this experience with the 706, and
if so what was the fix? Secondly, I would like recommendations on a
replacement mic for the Orion 1. I seldom us SSB as I op mostly CW, but
when I do op SSB I like a desk mic. So what are the recommendations?
