If you have been following this and this thread of @joulupukki , you know that I have made two SMT variants of the KM84 circuit with several improvements compared to the classic KM84 circuit. For convenience, I have called these circuits KM84+ and KM84++. They are described in detail on my website, which I have now launched. You will find the links below. The KM84+/KM84+ article texts are not completely finished yet, but I plan to finish them during the Christmas holidays. I hope you'll enjoy reading the articles on my website and find them useful!
I will make KM84+/++ PCBs available for the Takstar CM-60 and CM-63 and Alctron T-02A on PCBWay, but at the moment of writing, I have only finished the building instructions for the KM84+, suitable for the CM-60 microphone.

Available PCBs (at the moment only one, but you get an idea of what I'm working on: https://modimications.com/all-orderable-pcbs/
When more KM84+/++ PCB variants become available, I'll keep you informed via this thread.
Note: unfortunately, my website does not display correctly on mobile devices. I'll have to work on that.
Happy reading and Merry Xmas to all!
