Would depend on the condition of the mic; they are somewhat fragile, and
the ribbons get tired. Reribboning is not inexpensive. I like those mics
a lot. I've had my pair so long I have no idea what the go for now.

What is the mic's history... what has it been used for, or where did
you get it? Does it have a cable that will connect to the Tuchel
connector?

it's history is sad story. Once there was this little German girl,
let's call her Lilly (???) who lived all on her own. She was hungry,
so she decided to become a "pop star". Therefore she bought this mic.
However, her voice was rather weak, and being low output, this mic
wasn't realy suitable for her. Therefore she went to Hungary where she
met Mr. Aleyandro Upmenstein, famous audio merchendise reseller and
camel driver. Among other things, he discovered Tenereifian Giganting
Poison Lizard, previously beleived to be extinct. For more suprise he
discovered it in Carpatian Rain forest, a most unexpected place,
especialy compared to Tenerife. In fact, exactly on that trip to
Bulgarian Carpates, he passed through Belgrade. On Belgrade Railway
station he was immediately conned for all his money (spot the ball
under the matchbox) and therefore forced to sell some of his mics,
used since than in all various situations. From inspired speeches of
Comunist leaders to being mere decorative piece in windowshop of a
local kitchen stove repairman.

what has it been used for

Last known aplication it was used in, was shooting porn (not sure if
in audio).

or where did
you get it?


I got it in Tzar Dusan's Street, Belgrade, Srbija.

Does it have a cable that will connect to the Tuchel
connector?


Cable you can buy for few cents per meter. If you are really asking
for oposite sex connetcor (sound of malicious lough), you can buy it
somewhere for few dollars. So, the answer is NO.

Figure out a price based on the current street price times 0.75.


Are you offering EUR150?

Basically, they slide a new mic in your mic body.
It is of course a very expensive repair...


If you get this done, PLEASE ask for the old parts back! There is a real
demand for the 160 transformers out there, among people who want to upgrade
the 260.80.

Pity! The sale was nearly closed.

Perhaps if you had focused a bit more on the unhappy childhood...

Heh, never thought about that.

Now, let's see... yes, the transformer is swapped as well.

Not many go for it of course, and I'm not sure they would give the parts
back.


In the US, they have to do so by law. The only company I have ever dealt
with that has refused to do so is Countryman.

Might be the ticket.

On second thought, better not. Yours is probably too similar to mine.
