Thanks for all the responses to my query about my mystery microphone.
It appears that it's a Model 215. W2UX was kind enough to send a
picture and others provided descriptions. From an unofficial TT web
site I discovered that it's a ceramic mike and originally sold for $17
to $29.50.
Apparently they normally have a label above the switch giving the
Model 215 designation. Mine doesn't have that, but it does have the
little red TT emblem.
I don't get on phone much, but when I do I've been getting reports of
garbled audio, at certain times and on certain bands. Might be the
microphone; might also be RF pickup.
So the subliminal message I'm getting is either "fix up your ground
system" or "upgrade to a Model 705 . . . "
