Thank you very good video and a great help. I have a Turner Expander 500 wanting to connect to my President McKinley and this wiring is exactly same for my 6 pin plug so going to do what you did and remove the pins not being used very safe way of doing things. Well done good job!

Fabulous Video. Nicely done and in focus. Thanks for the wonderful information and the warning and "fix" for the pin of death. Going to be wiring a deskmike this afternoon. Love to find an old "Plus 3". It was the mic to have 40 years ago too. Thank you for the information!

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video it was helpful.

Just to answer my own question. With a straight Turner Plus Three microphone the red wire is not necessary and left disconnected. The rest of the wiring is exactly like this video and pushing the three extra pins out is definitely the way to go. The Plus Three is an amazing mic with this radio too. Thanks for the good vid and the great idea's. I so appreciate it!!

Well done Sir keep up the good work

Will the wiring be similar or the same as the other Turner desk mikes ?

An idea: if you use Pin6, and install a 9V Regulator inside the Turner, you wouldn't need a Battery.

Thanks for the video, fantastic. I have recovered my old turner and I would like to know how to make it work in yaesu FT-897, is it possible ?, Can someone help me?

I'd disconnect pin 6 from the inside. I personally found the 500 mic not nearly as good as the +3 versions
