RCA Ribbon Stand Adapter????

Just scored a sweet old RCA 74B ribbon mic like this one.

It doesn't have the little adapter inert to step the threads down to normal mic stand size. I found the part at Big DMC, but they are $25!!

AEA has the 5/8?-27F to 1/2?M Pipe Thread Adapter (RCA Style) for $24.00.

Anyone know where I can get one for a reasonable price or if anyone else carries them? What have others done to obtain them?

They do pop up on ebay from time to time. At least they used to. I haven't looked in a while. They're a high-demand item, though, so don't expect to find one for a couple bucks unless you get lucky.

Hi. I have a few old mics that require the same adapter. I got a couple from Clarence Kane at Enak mic repair, but they also cost about $25. I know a guy who has access to a machine shop and I'm hoping to get a bunch made, but I'm don't know yet how much he would charge. There's not much to making them, it just takes the right equipment and a bit of technician time. There isn't likely to be a huge volume on that sort of thing, so the per unit price could be high.

Anyhow, if I can get some made I'll keep you posted. If there's a lot of interest here, maybe I can get a large batch made at a decent cost. No promises yet though

Thanks Kevin. Well, I was hoping there was an alternative to the $25 ones, but so far nobody's said anything to the contrary. Sigh....

Would you be interested in a couple if I can get them? What do you think would be the most you'd pay for one? The greater quantity I can have them make, the cheaper per each. If I only get a few, it might not be any cheaper than what is available.

For that matter, anybody else need some?

I'd be in for one, if it could be around, say, 10 bucks (?)

Well, probably not but thanks! If I cannot find a better option in the next few weeks, I will got one for $25. But at that price, I had to ask though.
