AKG C 391 B

Yeah, I see those on ebay. Kind of banged up, though..
Not to mention the ones for around $200 do not have caps.

$200 for a body is about right on eBay. Should be about $200 per cap too (CK61). You can do better here if you're patient. My setup is 2 bodies, 2 CK61s, 2 CK62s, I paid ~$900 in the YS. They all have blemishes, they're over 20 yrs old after all, but they work splendidly. The new version (480) is about that for one complete mic! Many will say the 460 is sonically superior for what we do. I tend to agree. 391s will make nice tapes, but a 460 or 480 will blow them out of the water IMHO.

Def go for 460/480, or Busman Actives are in that price range!

Saw that you pulled the trigger on the ck61's in the Yardsale. Nice job!
You got them at a great price too flac.

Thanks! I have heard to many amazing 461&481 tapes to try and fool myself. Now for the bodies..
