Hi guys,
I'm looking for a U87, vintage or ai.
Let me know if you have one.
Thanks.

so did you beat me out for the one on ebay this morning?

We should probably declare what we are bidding on.
Last week it turns out I was bidding against a friend of mine on ebay
stupid stupid

Is it normal for Vintage U87's to have the switches snapped off them? YOu know the pad and/or low cut switches.

No, which one was it? The black one? How much did it go for?

yep, the black one. went for 2200 was an ai.

Yeah, I saw that the other day, but didn't watch it. Looked a bit beaten up and the seller had zero or very low feedback..or that might be another item..? Not sure.. It's not coming up now in the sold items search.
A p48 went for 2K a few weeks ago. The auction was linked to here as well, but I forgot to put a bid in, and it had only 1 bid for 2K...NOt sure what the story was there.

I was exactly the same Senad... been cursing ever since.

I think a well looked after ai can be had for 2K give/take. Hopefully someone is selling one soon around here.

No, but what happens is people take the head basket off to ogle the capsule and don't know how to get it off properly or if they do they don't know how to get it back on and they break the pins by forcing it.

Still looking.

A 40th anniversary pack went for $2650 on eBay yesterday.

fyi Turramurra has brand new ones for under 3K until c.o.b. today.......

Yeah I know.. I was prepared to pay a $100 less. I know it is probably worth the money it went for, but I really only need a working mic, without any bells and whistles.
Thanks, I'll call Turra to see what they can do.
Cheers

P.S. just checked.. $3200.. Good price on x-desks, if anyone neds one.. $3000

There's a vintage one on eBay Germany now - auction ends in 18 hrs

Thanks Ian. Missed that one, but am onto it now.

Arghhhh!! I ask him a question, he doesn't respond, I go to sleep, check my emails and he responded, but auction has ended at $1950 AUD

Sorted...
