angled UM57 style headbasket for Apex/Alctron?

[GeorgeToledo]

Is anyone aware of an aftermarket headbasket for the Apex/Alctron 460 related mics that is also shaped along the lines of this angled version of the UM57 headbasket?

Not to my knowledge. You might have to get a cheap C12 style headbasket and have it reshaped.

I appreciate the thoughts.

The actual RFT headbaskets look like they are experiencing reactivity (?) with the metal composition and the seller also isn’t shipping to US. I have thought about contacting the seller but ultimately I think I want something better condition for the particular idea I have. I think the sizing is off by a few mm but it may have been able to work when adding a new bottom ring. IDK. Just enough issues.

At one point there was an angled headbasket on a version of these
mics which fit these general body diameters and stock holes, but I just can’t seem to find one I can determine will fit anymore.

I guess the only answer for that is DIY! Go figure

If you can find an Apex 435 cheap you can swap head baskets with a 460. Just did it this morning, so I can’t comment on the sound yet. Fits perfectly!
My 435 is from 2006. 460 is from 2014 I think. Just grabbed it from a pawn shop a few weeks ago
