I have an old BSR EQ-3000. It works fine, but somewhere in moves the microphone was lost. It's supposedly an electret: "Omnidirectional Electret Condenser Mic, 600 ohm, 1.5 volt" and the EQ's input Z for the mike is 2.2K. Fine. The EQ makes pink noise for the purpose.
I'd like to use a generic electret mike, as I believe this EQ+spectrum display+mike setup was not all that accurate from the 'test equipment' standpoint, but the result of a particular EQ setting and mike placement was probably fairly repeatable.
If substituting another electret mike a terrible idea, is there a decent replacement for the EQ-3000 with display and a matching mike? There should be something better since the old BSR is a 10-band with 1 octave spacing.
And it was inexpensive.

I'd give a DIY job based on a clone of the trusty Panasonic WM-61 capsule a shot (also called something-61, search the usual distributors).
Alternatively, modern room correction e.g. with a MiniDSP + Dirac is a fair bit more powerful.
