Yeah if I'm building a U47 I'm not gonna have a tube circuit "fixed" that way...
Too bad, price is really good and otherwise looks fine

Yeah I’m thinking about bending some metal strips the right size. And drill some holes on both sides and halfway (for the pcb).dasnevestheo said:
Or buy some strips like this (https://schneidersladen.de/de/gewindestreifen-84te) and have some L shaped hooks on both ends.. gonna be a puzzle..

The price is so low that you can be creative in many ways to replace those standoffs for another system and still being pretty cheap in the end.
I don't find that adapting an L-Shaped or U-Shaped metal bar would be something difficult to do.

Well I'll keep on checking this thread to see what solutions you guys come up with !

i have seen where ring terminals are on/between the standoff posts and the solder tags of the terminals go in slots cut into the edge of the pcb wher'st tack weld/mechanical solder joints occur.

Got the mic body from the link I posted today.
Pros:
It's a very heavy hefty body. Beautifully made. 3-layer mesh which wad not specifically written on page.
Cons:
Packaged in the equivalent of a sock. Headpiece sustained minor almost barely noticeable bend. 2 or 3 dings on the body. I'm going to bring up to them that the body should be packaged better, but for the price, it's kind of a steal.

That would be interesting!

There will be quite a few differences.
One of them is the Grille Mesh, it's a different size and pattern

Can you machine some square or rectangular metal bars to setup in place of the standoffs?

Could you use some zip ties? Maybe file/cut little notches in the standoffs to help prevent the zip ties from sliding?

Just a little update. I think I found a way to connect the pcb. This is the D-EF47 PCB. It's a super tight fit. But I'm confident that it will work.
- Took out one 4cm standoff and replaced with a 2cm standoff and a longer (2,5 cm?) M3 screw.
- I had to shorten the "PCB screws" to not block the longer M3 size screw. Did this with my Dremel..
- Also needed to shorten the brackets as you can see. It was blocking the PCB for the tube holder (not attached yet)
- Drilled out the hole on the bracket to fit the longer M3 screw.
- The C2 and C3 pads are a bit close to the standoffs. But I'll probably use some shrink tube on the standoffs just to be sure.
- The 1G ohm resistors are close to the brackets but I'll make it work.
- Will probably use some tie wrapt to attach the bottom of the pcb (for stability)
It does not win the beauty price. But I'm surprised how solid this is. And cheap

Looks good, it will work well
