I swear I remember somebody posting pics of their 700s with a minixlr connector in the attenuator barrel.  I seem to recall the guy saying he used a die to re-thread the barrel. 

After searching on here for a while last night, nothing turned up.

Some pictures showing the CM300 and the CM700 with Mini XLR.

That's my mod  (not Roger's)
(note the same surface...)

I've been too lazy to finish it, but it's nearly there.
(the guts are all out of both of them)
I still need to do some cutting and filing.
So here's an updated shot. (dummied up)
If I can get past the couple things I'm working on right now,
I'll probably complete this in 2 weeks from now.

BTW, do the 700's have switchable caps?

Yes they do.
They take CP-701 (Cardioid) and CP-702 (Omni)
(possibly others... ?, but that's all I'm sure of)

I actually need a 702 cap. I only have 1.
I'd like to have one for when this is completed for group recording.
I mean when folks get together and play guitar, sing, read...
I don't actually have ANY omni's.

Years ....like 20....before Tracy Korby became the mic builder he is now.  he modded his Nak 700's and they had a BNC connector.  I believe that he moved the battery away from the caps and I know he added som roll off on the low end.  But it had been a damn long time since I used or even saw those mics.  A buddy has them and still uses them.  I do know that the BNC made for a great connection at least with the mod Tarcy did.  sorry I don't have more detail info

I spent a long time staring at and thinking about how to do that.
Like weeks...
I wanted it to not only be functional and aesthetically pleasing, but reversible if need be.
This turned out to be a good solution.
Now I just need to finish it.
The hard part is done.

I have a video project due on Tuesday that MUST be completed.
90 mins of audio/video to edit, construct DVD's with detailed menus and then burn...
why am I still here.
later.

Igene, what kind of male panel AND female cable connector did you use in that mod? I like the look of both of them.  I'm especially interested in the black female cable connectors since the switchcraft ta3's can sometimes feel a little cheap to me.  I'm always afraid of failing on busy stages, crowded snake boxes, etc.
