I am modding a few mics. I have 2 gxl1200, a mxl 991, a SP-1 and a mxl 990.  just some basic mods. I am about to order some caps from mouser and would like it if someone could check the parts to see if i am missing anything.
I also will be replacing the capsule on the Sp-1 and the 990 but i don't want spend a lot on them i have seen the group buy but don't want to wait a few months. is there any more places to get decent priced capsules below 75$?

From among the "big boys" at least, the cheapest capsules seem to hover around the 100$ area - i've yet to see any "official" (re)seller go too far under that sum.

http://advancedaudio.ca/collections/diy 99$, it seems
http://microphone-parts.com/collections/capsules 109-119$

The only way you can go lower than that is straight from China, i believe, and that's only 1) in quantities and 2) after a wait. I believe there's a saying along the lines of "beggars can't be choosers"? ;D
 
From what i read i thought the k67 capsules would not work well in the sp-1 or 990 . is that wrong?
Also will the caps form mouser work?
