Review Summary

So nice, I ordered a second one. This element is .78 inches thick and about 1.75ish in diameter at the rim. Fits i a D104 shell perfectly with a foam "gasket". I like the insulated cooler foam idea, but I used neoprene foam. The second one is going into a 520d whose element went belly up. This is a low impedance element, you may need a transformer for high Z use. For ham radio use, I used a ,02uf tantalum capacitor in parallel with the mic's terminals to cut some of the high end, which resulted in a nice flat response for radio use.

It seems to be as expected and it is installed in an old Astatic "Lolly Pop" housing. for which I had to cut up an old foam insulate canned drink cozy to fill the gap around the element to housing. That will also provide some isolation.
