Shoot! I might be digging for phones in the attic soon. All of ours just get upgraded.

this was very easy... i was actually looking at the mic elements from the radio shack. I think they require a battery but I'm not sure, that could complicate things but not by too much (I think you'd just put it on the hot wire?). With this I just soldered the wire to the mic element and the jack. Put hot glue on the mic, used a drum stick to push it down, let it dry and stuck the jack in the hole i drilled.

 

I first pulled a mic element from a telephone but I couldn't get it to work, it could be why the phone was getting trashed.

I like the look man. Looks easy to do, is it? I have seen mic elements for sale at radio shack.
