I think we're getting there in unravelling the mystery of the small bodied mics!
If you examine the two spec sheets for the ES933 and ES943 bodies:
Hanging, ES933:

http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/4ea31b4441f095b9/index.htmlThe specs are identical EXCEPT that the ES943 has a groove for the clip.
I believe that Stutter is right, Sound Professionals used to supply (as model SP-CMC8):
ES933 body + adapter + AT853 caps
This is what I bought originally as a 1998 model (they are now lost), and I believe is what SkttrWave has.
To use them as lavalier mics (ie with clips), they had a clear plastic ring and these clips (I still have a couple, thay are useless to me without the ring):
When the AT943 caps came out, SP used these instead, at the same time changing to the new ES943 body, with clip groove.
They kept the same part number, SP-CMC8 to confuse us..hehe
Humbug
ps SkttrWave, how are you getting on with sourcing a 3-wire bb?
