U47-style bodies - who can make one?

[0dbfs]

note to self:

Be very careful not to scratch up those beautiful bodies when assembling (and using!) microphone.

Skylar, Not enough can be said.

...looking forward with much anticipation...

Cheers,

What are we looking like time wise?

WOW those pics look amazing, I've never been more excited about a DIY project. So how many people are planning on doing a point to point version as opposed to the Gyraf or MK7 kit? It could be cool to make a easy to follow wiring layout of the original schematic for these bodies. I'll try to put one up if I can, or somebody who knows more than me can take it on. There's not too many parts in there, shouldn't be too hard. My main concern is mounting the transformer. I'm think about using the Cinemag CM-2461NiCo, anybody have any other BV8 transformer replicas they recommend?

A p2p version would be preferable for me, the one Skylar did was very impressive and neat. I'd stick with that.

Skylar,

glad to see that you've made it !!! The bodies look stunning ! Huge respect ! I'm looking forward to ordering a couple from you ! Cheers. Piotr.

 

[craptical]

yep.


                 

Sorry for this "boring" comment, but the fine mesh looks to be oriented diagonally in the pictures, no? Just checking, hope I'm wrong.

Looks AMAZING!!!

It's not.


[sorry this is a shitty picture...
just a quick snap w/ flash]

 

[craptical]

Great!

[EDIT: Skylar, I really hope you don't think I'm doubting your QC skills! If so, I'm sorry. It's just that it would be terrible at this stage with any mistakes, and, ah well... Nevermind. SO... Thanks for your *enormous* effort, INCREDIBLE!!! You've really nailed the essence of the 47 IMHO! And I'm so looking forward to ordering a pair!  ]

Sklyar,

They are beautiful! My only question is what are you going to do with all those screws I sent you a year ago  Again, kudos, soooo worth the wait! Any plans to do a PSU case to match it as well?

Cheers

Matt

 

[Skylar]

I might just get a bunch of PSU cases from Hammond.
I've got a sample, and it's very well made like everything from Hammond.

 

[tommypiper]

Good, a nice PSU box would be a lovely match. 

I'm glad you're happy with the bodies.  I wasn't sure what to expect when you switched manufacturers, my fingers are still crossed...  It has taken a while but as all have said, will certainly be worth it to get something quality -- and -- up to the true -47 specs!  That's been the goal all along and I'm 100% behind you on that.  Cheers and well done!
