These look quite nice quality , seems like there on special ,
anyone tried them yet?

 

[Whoops]

The only problem I see with that U87 type body is that there's no switch for Polar patterns, PAD and HPF.
I don't see how would someone implement that without butchering the body

I wasnt suggesting making a U87 clone ,nessesairily ,

Most tube mics dont require switches and patern can be done at the PSU end if required ,
The TLM style body looks about right for an M49-M50 style mic .

 

[Whoops]

they look alright for sure
And for that price it doesn’t hurt to get some just to try out, not a lot to loose
