have you tried looking on the internet or in a telephone book?

that's where i would look ;)

edit: as for a mic, not too many options without having a pre-amp.  you can try the sony ecm mics,  or a mic+battery box combo. many of those are thoroughly discussed on this site.

no worries , ;D anyway after having looked around the net,i was still unsure as to what mic to use with this particular model,so i take your answer of a sony ecm mic doesn't need a batt box then?

yeah no batt box.....at least i'm 99% positve.  i have never seen any mention of a batt box in the info files from shows taped sony ecm>md. nor any mention of a batt box in the dicussions of a sony ecm mic here.
