Title: Where to buy Gefell capsules
Post by: balou2 on November 29, 2006, 12:29:10 AM

Alright...I'm joining Team Gefell, as I'm picking up a pair of 692's with the m94 caps.  I'd like to look in to more cap options, especially a good pair of omni caps, maybe even the shotguns.  So:

- Are there places other than ebay to purchase these?
- Any personal recommendations on what designs to buy?

No $$ limits for this conversation...I'm using this as the learning curve.  Thanks.

Other than German Ebay you'll pay a fortune.  This is the only place I'm aware of that sells new caps for this series....

http://www.musicians-gear.com/

Click on Microtech Gefell.  Near the bottom is all the 692 caps...

Pretty sure these are all the compatable caps..I think you have the supercard caps.  M93 are the omni's and there is another wide omni.  Oh and the SN and BM stand for satin nickel finish and black matt finish FYI.

UM 70,
M71,
M 94,
M 70,
M 93,
M 69,
M 58,
M 72,
M 73,
M 79

Right now on German Ebay there are

multiple M70 caps
1 M71 cap
1 M93 cap
1 M94 cap
1 M69 cap

I try to only go with folks that do Paypal.  Wire transfers bite and are costly.

Thanks man.  +t.  I wish I could read German, and or do the cost conversions in my head.

It will display the cost in several different denominations, including the US dollar.  Check the pull down menu midway up the screen on the right.

Ya I don't see that either Brad.  But Mike just remember 100 Euros is 132 bucks give or take some cents.
And also translate the page here  http://www.babelfish.altavista.com/   Pay particular attention to the shipping info before bidding.  Only about 25% of German Ebay will ship to the states.   :(

You have to click on one of the manufacturers in the left menu then look midway up the screen for the drop down menu....

I think Brad is referring to the Musicians gear site not Ebay.  FYI
