Electret mic & boom

[RST Engineering (jw)]

I can go down to the local electronics supermarket and find computer
headsets complete with electret boom mike for a few bucks. However, trying
to find just the microphone and boom with pigtail leads is proving either
horrendously expensive or nearly impossible.

Probably not impossible if I wanted to buy a million of them, but I only
need a hundred or so a month. Anybody got any sources for me?

Find a cheap one that disassembles easily? Ideally one that leaves the
headphones in a state than can be used so you avoid waste and have a chance
of getting some money back by selling them on.
