Neumann Vintage U87 Clone : Build Thread.

[Jmaffei]

Thanks for your reply @Khron, Yes I have looked for alternative parts with similar specs, the detail I'm not sure about is the capacitor material. I assume Styroflex Capacitors have been selected for a reason, and I'm not sure what would be considered an acceptable capacitor type as a replacement. Any ideas?

Vintage w*nkery, more or less...

Just about any film cap (polypropylene / CBB, polyester) should be fine, as long as it physically fits.
