Microphone schematics are scattered all over the place here and are difficult to locate at best. This thread is my effort to remedy that problem.
I need 2 things:
1. Someone to host them - Several folks here have mentioned in the past that they have plenty of space to host drawings and such, so if you think you'll be around a while and want to do this, just let us know. I'd like to keep them off of sites with adds and other clutter. A plain FTP site will do just fine. Also, I don't expect it'll take a lot of space. Once the site is established, seavote will add a link to it in the new Microphone META.
2. Send your schematics to the host - Once the host is established, we need those who have schematics to send them to the host. This includes schematics already existing on the form. Remember, the goal is to put these all in one place for quick and easy access, so if you have or know of a schematic somewhere on the form (even if it's already in a META), send it to the host.
It would be nice if they were all in a standard format like a pdf file. Here is a link to PDF995 which is a "free" utility that installs itself as a printer. You just select it as the printer and print the drawing to a pdf file (it'll automatically create the pdf file when you print to it).

However, this is just a suggestion - you don't have to convert them if you don't want to. I can download them, make the conversion, and send them back to the host.
In closing, I'm very open to any other ideas or methods for doing this, so all input is welcome. Also, I'd like to thank all contributors in advance for helping out with this!
