I brought the InnerTube Audio mod for my Neumann U87 last year and love it. With that mod you totally remove the whole insides and replace with their electronics.
So I have the solid state insides of a U87 doing nothing. Incidently from the serial number it was made in August 1970.
Is there a cheap chinese mic that has the exact same body shape as a U87 so I could remove the insides and replace with the Neumann ones I have? I could also replace the capsule and have a second Neumann on the cheap. Is the Peluso CEK89 U87'ish?
My electronics is very limited, but I can do simple jobs.
Alternatively is it not worth the hassle and whack it on eBay!!! Any idea what it may be worth?
