K2 mic hole plug specs?

Lloyd Lachow
  Someone pointed me to:

   http://www.siska.com/plugs.htm

  but I'm unsure...anyone have a part number for a
good plug for the mic jack hole on a K2?

  Thanks!

I have used CB/Ham Radio Mic plug (274-025) from Radio Shack with no
problems.

I thought for sure that my K2 came with the mic jack (#370).  It's been so
long I can't remember for sure.  I did get some plastic hole plugs for the
unused holes on the back panel from a hardware store that snapped in and
worked great until I finished filling them all with accessories.

  Thanks, Ken, but I seek a plug for the hole, not for
the jack...my intention is not to install the jack in
the first place.

I think I would reconsider that. Even though you don't wish to ever  
operate the thing on phone, you just might decide to sell it someday,  
and having the mic jack installed would probably increase the value.

  Oh, I'll keep the jack. and it will be the work of
five minutes to install in the unlikely event of my
ever parting with this rig...I just don't want that
alien thing staring me in the face during the
thousands of hours I'll spend sitting in front of it.

I was just at Lowe's looking for black plugs for the holes in the back panel
of a K2. I hate unfilled holes...it looks kind of cheesey to me. They had
quite an assortment, but nothing to fit the rear. Might be worth a look for
the mic hole.

My K2 already has the mic jack installed. I'm looking for one of those
protective caps to fit over it. Some might say, that's what the microphone
is for. Hi.

Look up the Caplugs Co. on Google, and write for some samples of their
plugs, stating the sizes you need.

Don't you think a microphone is an awfully expensive way to cover that
unsightly hole in the front of your rig?  There must be a better way to
seal it from exposure ;)

I wish I had not taken the masking off the back panel until I had found
which holes were superfluous to my needs.  Then I would not have as many
avenues for mojo leakage :(

Try an auto accessory shop for blanking plugs/caps. They come in small  packs
in the UK with assorted sizes, so probably just as readily  available in the
USA. Come in handy for various construction projects.
