What's in your mic cabinet?

I think there was a reason that it stopped at ....13. Maybe no one wants to carry it past that particular #. Maybe it's just that the others looked at these and felt embarassed that "all" they had was some silly DPA's... Rolling Eyes

SCOOOOORE!!!!

Snagged an RCA 44B, great cosmetic shape, unknown working condition, with what appears to the original 2 conductor (button) connector/cable for under $270!!!

Man, am I one HAPPY fella!!!

Gonna' look up how to re-wire for XLR and balance the thing... if it looks like too much of a PITA to get working, it'll still probably worth it to send to Wes at AEA isn't it?

Been searching for one of these dudes' for like 3 years... that I could afford. WOW!!!

Any ball park idea what Wes charges to completely refurb a 44B?

Hey MadMax..........
Where I rent equipment. They get new ribbon put in mic's at..........................................
Talking Dog Transducer Company, He performs Mods on Pre's and Ribbon mic's. I would hate to say what I thought it would cost. It's not cheap, I'm sure you no. I can find out more info if needed.

I got the use of a AEA R44C for the next 5 days!!!!!! SWEET
Along with a A-Designs MP-1 . Also a Buzz ARC1.1 that I'm going to try.
Going to Nastyville to pick them up Saturday.

Peace..........................Scoobie
