Good Mics for Sony TC-D5 PRO II

Hi, I found a Sony TC-D5 Pro II cassette recorder and I wanted to do some field recording with it.  Anyone still use one of these for fun?

I have a pair of the Usi Pro microphones but they require phantom power and it doesn't look like the Sony supplies that.  So I can get a portable phantom power supply, or new mics.  Does anyone have any suggestions for good stereo mics that don't require phantom power?  I'm mostly looking to record ambiences of whatever is around me.  I tried an Electro-Voice 635 just to test the machine and it worked but it didn't seem to pick up much, so something pretty sensitive might be good.

Thanks for any feedback.
