DIY microphone for gritty, low-fi vocals

For anyone looking to get a low-quality vocal sound in their recordings (ie. telephone conversation effect, or grungy low-fi vocals in music), this may be of interest:

The electronic bits were purchased at Radio Shack for just shy of $5 total.

As this is my first microphone, I'll be experimenting further with larger cans, adding membranes, damping, etc. to fine-tune the sound.
