If you are using an amplified D1Ø4 base, there should be no problem using the HC-5. However, I don't know of any Drake which will really benefit thought the use of an audio amp.
For the price of an HC-4, you can probably find a real D1Ø4 head and base at any number of places....Hamfests, Old Timers shack, garage sale (CB stuff) or maybe your local Emergency Management HQ during one of their yearly cleanups. You never know.

Hi all,
In my humble opinion, the Heil HC-4 or 5 elements are a better replacement option to restore an Astatic D-104 mic. There are instructions for the replacement using these mic elements on the Heil site. I prefer the more broad frequency range of the HC-5 element over the old crystal element for pleasing audio quality and good over all "Punch" on Drake equipment.
Just my opinion,
