OK dudes and dudettes...here's the deal! Since you've pretty much all at one point or another have done such a wonderful job of busting my balls, I'm posting this here first without putting it under a new post title so you can have dibs. I don't want another argument about this, and before you even bother to ask me the answer is no...I don't have audio files of recordings done on this machine to offer you, and no I won't ship it out to your place for you to try out for free My buddy is selling an Otari MX5050 MKIII eight track analog 1/2" tape machine and has asked that I help him move it. This vintage machine has on board mic pres, it comes with the wheel stand, the very big remote control, the manual, a calibration tape, leader tape, a degausser, an eight channel XLR audio snake, a bunch of new blank tape, and splicing tape...the whole shebang! The machine is in almost mint condition...he's just getting out of the analog world. He's asking $1,500.00 for the whole outfit...this is not the MKIII 2 track machine, this is the full eight track version. Is that a fair price? Also, he's selling a Neumann TLM103 for around $700.00 with the clip and wooden case...for one of my mics ahem! Just putting it out there...please no fighting about this post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're losing that wam 'n fuzzy feeling.

I have not busted anyones balls. I asked for the CD you offered a couple weeks ago. I am sure it will get here. What would be a reasonable time to wait?

:p

How does when pigs fly sound?

zrocks...I should have more of the disks within the next few weeks from the company that I outsource all of my duplication work to. Thanks again for all of your patience! Joey D!

Still not even one post from a Forum member stating he/she has bought a microphone.

For those that can't wait, maybe you could try your hand at these

Got my mic the other day and am truly impressed! Wow!! I can't say enough good things about it and was pleasantly surprised to learn it also broadcasts over the radio too! My U87 doesn't even come close in comparison. Two thumbs up Joey D!! Keep up the good work. Here's a pic:

Buttrumpet...that last post IS funnier than hell so I'll give you lots of creative credit there...lol! Mogandus...I must admit that I am a little frustrated that no one who bought my mic has posted any of their findings! But on my behalf, no one has asked me for a refund and they all had plenty of nice things to say about it! You do have to admit though that we have done a pretty good job of creating an atmosphere on this forum that would not leave a consumer feeling very comfortable at all to post comments about my mics! They probably fear that they'll be berated and/or accused of being tied in with my month long "scam" at best! I saw that one coming as soon as the **** started to hit the fan on here! I mean, would you put your neck out for a stranger and chance losing your "board cred"? I'd think not!

Who bought your mic?
