Up for sale is a pair of Altec Tube condensers with OMNI capsules. They have been reconditioned by Rob Squire and have had new tubes installed. Rob has also custom built a new PSU for them which is a great improvement on the old designs. The mics sound great!!!
There is more info here - http://www.coutant.org/altecm20/index.html
Happy to post anywhere in oz. Would prefer pickup though.
I am located right on the border of Pascoe Vale South and Brunswick West in Melbourne.
The custom PSU and new tubes etc cost around $1000 alone. Price drop down to $1680.

I'm sure I would love these mics. If I wasn't in the middle of a control room re fit, I would be very tempted.

I am sure that you would too Paul. These mics are more of a luxury than a necessity which is why they are slow to move. Maybe they will still be around when you finish your control room... I kinda hope not though!

Re: FS: Pair of ALTEC Lipstick Tube Condensers w/customPSU
Okay so it seems its not even worth putting these up on ebay. The fees are going to kill me.
So another drop -
$1680.
