[Drake] Best Mic Element for 7077 with TR7

[John Chesley]

Hello,

 

I have a 7077 mic that someone sold to me for a premium price with a
non-working original Astatic element.  The whole inside of the mic is a
mess-wires cut and parts broken.  But the outside looks like new.  I have
been searching for months for a NOS replacement and no individuals that I
know of have them for sale. Astatic does not have them anymore either and
none of their distributors I have contacted have any left. I just want to
use the mic with my TR7 and get it working rather than throw the parts in
the trash.  Can anyone suggest the absolute BEST element for the TR7 that is
AVAILABLE and that will FIT in the 7077 mic shell and that I can obtain
reasonably quickly?  I really don't care that it is not the original
element.  I do want something that provides the best match for the TR7 and
clean articulate audio.

 

Thanks for any advice.
