Adapting an antique carbon mike to work with a Presto K-10

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

I currently have a friend who knows much more about electronics than I do getting my old carbon mike to work. I want to use it with my Presto record lathe. What kind of impedance should it have? I know that modern mikes do not work with it. I have an old lollipop mike that does. It has the typical screw-on connector.
