I am curious, how many of you know whether third-party repair and parts vendors reskin capsules themselves, or use a subcontractor who actually does the work? I only know of ONE person who reskins of supplies M7-type capsules, and he does that for many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs): Siegfried Thiersch.
Do you know of others who re-diaphragm M7 Neumann capsules, but do not necessarily identify their work (hence letting vendors use their names)?
What about reskinners who work on the rest of the Neumann capsule line? I know of:
* Doug Walker, Canada
* Tracy Corby, U.S. East Coast
* Tim Campbell, Denmark
* Tony Merrill (Stephen Paul Audio) Los Angeles
* Siegfried Thiersch, East Germany
* John Peluso, U.S. East Coast
* Ben Sneezby, Australia
* Peter Drefahl, Konstanz, Germany
I am not interested in discussing the quality of work any of these provide, I just would like to lift the curtain on who actually does all the work for manufacturers or repairers who do not always reveal their sources freely.
