Starting my M49 build

[ZHOUJUN]

Interested in M49, the new price is too expensive, I try to complete one myself, I have collected parts for a long time, consulted a lot of information, now I will share my construction process, I will test different transformers and capsules,and tubes， I will try to update My build process, thanks!

It's slow to make a resistor board bit by bit by hand, but I'll do my best!

This is what we call "pure DIY". It looks great, congrats Good luck

For some time I am looking for this type of the machine... Would you share what kind is it ?

Thanks!

p.s. Nice build... Mine is also waiting ...

You're welcome, this is a woodworking machine, an electric trimmer！

 

[ZHOUJUN]

Thank you for your support, continue to share my construction process, make a transformer tray with copper plate, because I can't buy a suitable one.

Then I made a transparent cover, using acrylic material, and modified it several times before it succeeded.

I started making the capsule posts, soldered a few resistors, positioned the posts, and drilling the holes for the copper rods was very difficult and I had to scrap a lot of copper rods.

awesome! I just need the mic body for mine, let me know how it sounds! Looks really really good!

This is so cool and beautiful!! I love the “pure-diy” as Srdjan said! It inspires me to do something like this…

What donor body are you using? Is it from a tlm49?

Glad this is happening

I also expect to be able to make a beautiful sound, and I need to work hard to complete it.

I used a binder connector, the shell is made of brass, the standard M49 size, but I have modified it somewhere, I don't know how to describe it.

 

[SparkleBear]

You machined the body and bottom bell yourself?

I modified the base bell to fit the binder connector, the main body was only slightly modified.

 

[ZHOUJUN]

Next, I started to make the transfer switch base. The process will be very slow. I am worried about making mistakes, so I have to be very careful.

 

[Delta Sigma]

I think we're into the same kinda kink. Referring to the kink in your resistor leads...

 

[Toobme]

Beauty! This is going to be a built-beyond type deal, looks like. Love it!

I soldered some capacitors and resistors. I tried to choose some early German capacitors and resistors. I tried to splice all the accessories. The appearance of the microphone combination is roughly like this. There are still some details that need to be modified. I still need to solder some components under the circuit board. I am going to use an M7 as a test. This is Thiersch's PVC capsule. It is not in good condition. I have tried hard to repair it. The next step is to build the PSU part.
