Stanford Omega Mics

[Rick Ruskin]

Anyone remember these? I'm picking up a pair this week that need
their power supplies repaired or rebuilt. Worth it?

If the power supplies are bad, likely the coupling caps in the mikes are
bad too. These are pretty typical small omnis of that era, used a 6CW4
nuvistor and a hand-tensioned mylar diaphragm.

I don't think they are anything to write home about, but if the price is
right, why not? I rebuilt a couple of these back in the eighties and I
remember them as sounding fairly neutral.
