Howard, I think you have a find.

The Corsair was a very good CW rig.  If you can still get the filters, I'd 
go for it.  You won't find nicer sound QSK anywhere.  It makes the QSK in 
the TS2000S sound like crap.  CW was really Ten Tec's long suit--they did 
it very very well.

The Corsair was a much higher end radio than the Delta.  The Delta was 
really more of an economy rig--not quite as much as the Argosy, but really 
one step up from the Argosy.

I know lots of people that used the Shure 444 with the Triton IV also, but 
I always thought that the D104 had a little more punch.  I suppose it 
depends on what criteria you are judging microphones by.  The Shure 
probably has better fidelity, but I find the D104 to be very sharp sound 
and it gets through when conditions are poor.  It's probably not the best 
microphone if you are sitting around with a bunch of friends ragchewing.

I actually have all of the things you would need to make that adaptor left 
over from when I used to run Ten Tec equipment, albeit, not assembled, but 
at least I have the parts.  I imagine you can find the 4 pin mic jack ok, 
but let me know if you have trouble as I'm not doing anything with it and 
would be happy to pass it along.
