Not sure if it still works... I also have a Messenger I and a II.
In my '68 Stepside, I still have a Motorola remote speaker. Also the spring/ball antenna mount is still on the rear of the driverside stepfender.
You could get a magnetic-base mic clip, and stick the mic where ever you wanted. Dangling from the RVM is a distraction.
I have 3 Johnson Messenger II Black Faces. It's amazing these big tube radios were considered either base or mobile rigs. I have one that was a police radio with the add on to it. I had one since the 70's and have since bought 2 from eBay to have spare parts but I never fire them up.
