U47- Neumann/telefunken(???) Did they do a 47? I just ran through the locker and didn't really look at the telefunken since I dont have 10 grand for a mic! He says its a 47. I assume it will be XPENSIVE.

U67- not cheap either

older U87s (are the older ones of a better build and/or tone potentially?- I cant a/b with a new one- they dont have any and nor do I.)

AKG 451 with 3 capsules and tilt arm

and finally KM84

There are multiples of everything except the telefunken. Any direction would be GREATLY appreciated. Im looking at overhead/acoustic guitar pairs and vocal mics. And please dont tell me to search- I already did. Prices are market dependent- recent prices would be GREAT!
Thanks

great selection of mics
