bollocks redux!
Posting this to see if there is any interest in a thoroughly pimped out Chinese Alcatron 9-pattern tube mic. The mic has been upgraded with a Peluso CEK-347 capsule, a Cinemag 2480 transformer, an NOS GE JAN 6072a tube, capacitor upgrades including an Auricap in C8, Zener diode mods in the power supply, a new Mogami 7 pin cable, and a layer of headbasket removal. The mic itself started as a brand new Nady TCM-1050 that I purchased in March of 2007 (the body of the mic has been spraypainted grey as well). All mods were done by a local RE/tech named Michael Perez-Cisneros who has posted extensively about these mods on other message boards in March.
This is an awesome mic that I would like to keep, but I have gone modded tube mic crazy lately-- I've picked up two other mics with the same basic mods (essentially the "Dave Thomas mod" with different capsules and transformers), two Royer-modded tube mics, and an Oktavamodded MKL2500, and I would like to reallocate resources a bit. This one has the most expensive capsule and started as a brand new mic so I figure it has the best resale value.
I am not desperate to sell this, but if anyone is interested, I would sell this for less than the price of the parts (which add up to about $600-- feel free to check on that yourself). I would be interested in hearing trade offers as well. Thanks!
