Hi all,
I am finally getting the ol' radio back up and running after a few months
of packing and moving from NC to WI. In my past life (in NC) I was mostly
CW, but now that the shack is in the basement I want to get back on SSB.
I have an Elecraft desk mic (the Heil version from a few years ago).
Hi John,
Could the switch actually be a DPST and wired to -open- when the
switch is depressed? There are some musical (band) applications
where this would be the case.

I just checked again and, yes, it's wired to OPEN when depressed and CLOSED
otherwise. Hrm.
Can I use this for PTT or is it simply junque?

John,
Worst case would be to open it and replace the switch with one that has
the same physical characteristics but it normally open.
Best case - it may be a double-throw switch that just needs to be re-wired.

Sure. Just rewire it to work the other way.

Here's an update with photos of the innards.
I think there might be a way to rewire this one, but it would require
cutting part of the switch. Not sure about that... Right now it's shaped
like an S when not depressed:
(white wire connects here)

(black wire
Looking at the pictures, it looks like the center arm of the switch is
connected to the pole the black wire is connected to just to the left of
where the black wire is soldered. It looks like if you broke that
connection, and connected the white wire to the center arm of the
switch, it would
That's exactly the case--and what I was thinking about doing.
I was also considering desoldering the center arm of the switch and bending
it up, to connect it to the top arm of the switch; however, being that the
center part is plastic, I'm not sure it would survive this process.
