I've owned it since 2007 and rarely use it - which is why I'm selling it. I run a mixing Studio and rarely overdub. It's from the late 80s.I picked it up from a studio in Nashville. And had it checked out by my tech at studio G in Brooklyn and despite the dents in the outer tubing, which were there when I got it, it received a clean bill of health. The one thing my tech did suggest on a mic this old is that a capsule cleaning at some point would probably be beneficial. The thing sounded great so I never felt like I needed to get one. I also called up Neumann to get a replacement outer tubing they wanted something like 250 - so I declined since it worked perfectly and wasn't worried about aesthetic - i think it makes it look cooler If you have any questions let me know!
