Title says it all, minus some details. I may be able to acquire an original U47 body and shock mount for free or cheap, and wondered what options make the most sense before convincing the owner that it's better off in my hands. From what I can tell, the internal electronics have been stripped. I don't know if he's got them in a closet somewhere with the power supply... I haven't even brought it up yet. There may be an original capsule still inside but after 70 years I'm assuming that would need replacing along with the rest of the mic being re-built.
So... build a poctop D47 clone in it? Source another donor U47 for parts? Or leave it to die as a prop mic for an off brand singer?
