Ave a look at the, rf limited cr577 mic it has a ceramic element and tone control.As near to a teardrop as you can get but half the price....................
Yeah had one for a couple of years and sold it. I really must try and keep some of the stuff I buy!
You can't get them any longer unfortunately. Don't think they're manufactured now.

Astatic D104m6b hand mic as near to the 575m6 as you will get, half the price and more common on the used market than the teardrop.
In my original post, I mentioned that I didn't like the minuteman due to its small size. I did like the audio quality but the physical size was too small, especially the ptt.
It's the main reason I don't like the supplied President microphone!

I sold an original minute man to steve sickboy, It had a long PTT Bar unlike the modern version, He might be willing to part with it if he still has it, Might be worth a quick PM to ask
Thanks to everyone who put forward comments and suggestions. I've decided on a slightly different approach. I'm going to continue to use my Behringer for my Kenwood, only now I'm going to make up an adapter to use it with my Presidents.
I also have a spare Kenwood MC-43S fist microphone I previously wired for a President Lincoln, so this will get re-wired for my 6 pin Presidents.

Oh well, plans have kind of changed a little. Just when I had decided not to look at an Astatic microphone, along comes an as new Teardrop already wired for a Ranger 2950DX, so works 100% with 6 pin President.
So, while I will still re-wire my spare Kenwood microphone to work with my Presidents, I've now got another teardrop, so seems to have worked out.
