Quick question Spencer, the mesh in the original looks to have a "flat spot" in the shape of a "V" on each side...I can't see it in your photos. Does your mesh have the flat spot?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Phrasemaster,

yes it definitely has the flat spot ( i call it a chisel shape ) , have a look at the side view photo.

Thanks Spence; I did look at the photo just can't see it. Can you post another photo showing it? Sorry to be a pain.

 

[Spencerleehorton]

I will do it later on, have to go and try and buy a car now for my wife!!!!

Spence.

Good luck man!! 

 

[Spencerleehorton]

Right no car for the wife but some pictures for you guys.
Hopefully you can see from these angles it has a flat section on each face.
This was a freshly nickel plated one which hasnt been polished yet, im really happy with the plating now, think ive cracked it!!!
Just need to remember guys these are all vintage look, so you getting a microphone body that is going to look like its from the vintage era.

Hi Everyone,

Hopefully all being well there should be 10 or so bodies available next week if anyones interested, having professional pictures done so will post as soon as i have them done.
there will be a couple going for cheaper as they have a little more character than i anticipated!!!

regards

Spence.

also forgot to say there will be 5 bodies with the mesh the original way as well!!!! the rest have the stronger diagonal way.

HI Winetree,

thats a great picture, will see how close i can get to that as the mould i have was designed to not be exactly the same to avoid any legal disputes etc.
I can adapt it and have another way to shape, so thank you.

regards

Spence.

Hello Spence,

PM'ed you. 

 

[Winetree]

Spence,
I have more pix I could send if it would help.

Hi everyone,

ok i now have a total of 18 M49 bodies in various different stages, 2 which are the first prototypes which are bronze and need nickel plating, 4 which have been nickel plated and need polishing and 12 which need to be braised and then nickel plated and polished.
Hopefully over the next few days these will all be at the polishing stage and ready for photos.
Probably seems like i'm going so slow i'm going backwards but it is only me making all these and i do have other work/jobs which i have to do.

regards

Spence.
