I have a k40 speech processor mic on my rig, the magnetic version, it's about 25 years old and I got it off a mate still new in the box

I had a K40 mic, think the rigs needed modding to use it?, fitting a resistor to the mic socket?.

Old ones did, apparently not needed for newer rigs , I do have the resistor tho

 

[Robotstar5]

Round here the homebase to have was one of the "President" range, "Midland" were a popular basic decent rig or the Cobra 148 if you wanted everything.

wish I still had it and the cobra

Found a pic of my "shack" the CRT monitor shows it's a few years ago

 

[Woody.v8]

The president Lincoln was about the best 10m rig in my time on the rig, Although i never had one, I struggled on with a tristar 777 with so many extra boards and mods i had to have about 10 pages of A4 on the wall, and a frequency counter to drive it along with a b550p.
I then became wise and just used HF radios
