Mic suspension mount elastic

[Thirteen]

Hi all, I have a Neumann M147 that I want to sell, it has a Neumann suspension mount with it, and one of the elastics is frayed, I would like to replace it before I put the mic up on ebay. Does anyone know where I might look for one?

[rick]

if your looking for neumann perzac replacement then you got to go to syntec i am afraid
they are not cheap :(

maybe you want to sell the mic to me with a discount for the frayed rubber..?

i am looking for some m 147s but the timing is not great for obvious reasons
but looking at your post number maybe your just messing with me ( 666)

I did notice the 666... Not sure what M147's are worth these days, the RRP is crazy, I was hoping to get at least 2200 for it on ebay - It is in the Neumann hard case with the PSU, cable, manual and basic stand mount, as well as the suspension mount, there is a space for the suspension mount inside the case even though it is an optional extra.

Really like this mic because it is kind of dark sounding, it's so hard to find a condenser to record hard, bright female vocals, but I don't get to record much these days, so I am being realistic and selling my outboard gear, the 1176 and Vocal Stresser will be on the block soon... Cant bring myself to part with my pair of Milab's though, I have never heard a better pair of mics to record a grand piano.

2200 is high but you might get it
i keep seeing them sell for $1700-1800 which is why i am getting interested
they too good a mic to be so cheap
if it fails to go let me know

[Thirteen]

I was thinking around that price as the suspension mount costs over $300.00, but, if you want to make an offer.....

[rick]

I offer to leave it a few weeks till I am more worried about microphones and less about gyprock:)

Spoken like a true pragmatist!

i've made many a replacement suspension elastic. I have some thick black braided elasticy stuff here...like thick hat elastic. It is a bit a craft session joining it into a loop, but you'll find this stuff in good rubber stores

hey rob ,
i got a hilti gx 120 gas concrete gun ( shoots nails into concrete) the other day ,
now THAT is a craft session waiting to happen , fire it at the wrong part of a brick wall and suddenly you are learning to be a brick layer :)

[rob]

I reckon you should strap it onto the front of the forklift and hit the streets

[Thirteen]

Hey Ben, that would be great. Can you PM your email address and an amount and I will Paypal you some funds? Also, are you able to source and install a new suspension foam kit into an RE-20?

Hi Ben

Bout time I did something about it. Could I grab some from you aswell?
I need only enough for the one suspension mount.
Could you pm me (as above) with payment details.
