standard 1/4 inch plug? <snip>

You can, but you have to extend the barrel a bit to fit a 1/4"  
connector. This in turn requires machining a custom bushing to fit in  
the barrel where the old connector used to be. I have done this for  
many list members - although in every case I've added a volume  
control while I was at it for them. You can see pics of this mod on  
the "mods and adapters" page of my web site at http:// 
www.blowsmeaway.com An alternative is to end it with a switchcraft  
screw-on connector, which is shorter; if you don't want a volume  
control this can be done without any extension.

But from the description you're giving, it sounds like the mic  
already has a switchcraft screw-on (which means someone already  
modified it - 545's all came with 3-pin or 4-pin connectors) and you  
need to fix the cable? I can put a new connector on the end of the  
cable for you.
