Just got myself a TLM 103 2nd hand.
Now I'll be stuffed if I'm paying the $460 they want here in Oz for a genuine mount.
So does anyone know who makes generic shock mounts?
Thanks
Mark

I recently bought a couple of Peavey Studio Pro shock mounts when I was looking for a large, economical basket for Oktava ML-52 ribbons. I ended up selling one of the mics with a mount - see the pictures on eBAY

The shockmount came with a captive nut for securing the mic, but it was far too small for the Oktava mic. I was able to pop it out pretty easily with a small screwdriver and the hole where the nut went through was just a touch smaller than the thread on the base of the Oktava mic. A few minutes with a half-round file and I had a perfect fit. The basket will accomodate a 3-1/4" diametef mic body.

I have no idea if this will work for the Neumann, but found the mounts locally for only $25 each and the are far nicer than the usual binder-clip crap you get for cheap.
