Alctron and Telefunken USA have a nice relationship it seems!Panjiva and ImportGenius search brings lots of fun results.
Also see 797 sells to Shure. Wonder what mic that would be?

Wow, they look great and the prices seems decent ?I got an offer from Shuai Yin. I will skip it for now, the bodies are around 140$ + shipping + customs... They don't have many 47 fet bodies in stock right now, but they say more are on the way. They do 414 and m49 as well. It seems to be the United body. I don'd like the upper part of the grille looks a bit ugly, sticking out too much.
Hi @kingkorg You know if the fet47 bodies are still in stock ?I got an offer from Shuai Yin. I will skip it for now, the bodies are around 140$ + shipping + customs... They don't have many 47 fet bodies in stock right now, but they say more are on the way. They do 414 and m49 as well. It seems to be the United body.

I could probably be in for 4 ( to pair with your k47s !!!! ).If someone could mail me a real 47 fet body to take measurements of I could get it made. Price for me would be about 60 a piece, so maybe I could do a hundred on them. Could be lower, not really sure how the fet is put together
that makes interest for 20...might be able to do it cheaper. i'll wait for someone to lend me one. would just need them to safely take the internals out of a fet, mail me the body and i'll mail it right back. they could also just send the entire mic i suppose, but i'd rather they handle the risky stuff...I could probably be in for 4 ( to pair with your k47s !!!! ).
appreciate the interest, but i don't even have someone to lend me a u47fet body to copy yet. i would prefer it be a reissue
i mean, if someone were to lend me one, it would be done properly ideally, like with a carnet and tons of insurance and probably a legally binding contract and a deposit, but i am already looking around for other ways to find one locally.Hi mate, I'm sure no one will mail an Original Neumann U47fet mic or body to someone else. It's a 3750€ microphone (higher value if its a vintage one), people will not want to lend a mic like that to someone they don't know, specially by mail.
Best option is if you can get one locally or visit a local studio that has one.
Do you have any studio in your area that owns a U47Fet?
It could be just a matter to ask the studio manager to go there and take the measurements on the spot
If you by any reason come to Portugal in the near future, I know 2 studio around with 47Fet mics and I could ask for us to go there take measurements
but i am already looking around for other ways to find one locally.
I’ve got a message out for one now. I’ll report back.i mean, if someone were to lend me one, it would be done properly ideally, like with a carnet and tons of insurance and probably a legally binding contract and a deposit, but i am already looking around for other ways to find one locally.
