Good mic!! I like it on kick. It's worth looking around for a connector.

If Ebay doesn't pan out for you try calling the chief engineer at a fairly established tv station. If the station dates back to the '60's he might have what you're looking for in a forgotten parts drawer. Also take some ribbed hemostats and try to unscrew the tiny ribbed screw that holds the windscreen mesh onto the body of the mic. If you can get it off, clean out all the old rotten foam and either leave off or replace w/ new. I got some from an RE-50 that is currently available from EV. I can't remember if I trimmed it a little but it wasn't a big deal.
