First Home Recording Set-up, old microphone question!

Hi,

I have a Tascam Porta 02 MkII and I recently got a vintage AKG Telefunken D19C cardioid microphone http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/AKG_d19c_d_19_c.html without the mic cable. The mic has the 3-pin prongs with the small notch on the edge. I think I know what I need, but I just need to make sure and see if anyones knows before I go and buy them. I planned on buying this: http://www.hinton-instruments.co.uk/paprod/cables/vintagemic/kleintuchel.htm

the Klein Tuchel to XLR cable, and then using a female XLR to 1/4" stereo jack adapter to use to hook into the Tascam. Something similar to this: http://www.fullcompass.com/product/340738.html

What do you guys think? Will this make the microphone work? Any advice? Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to share!
