Pat, if you ever want to sell that 664, I'd like to know about it.

i have an even older Heil mike than the Goldline and it, also has a four
prong male connector in the base of the mike. Somewhere around the shack I
have an old Electrovoice 664 mike and I believe it has the three prong XL
connector. Perhaps it is a bit larger in diameter than the Heil, but that
is just a memory. I think that mike is buried in a carton and not easy to
get to. Thanks.
