Hello,
In another post, Klaus made mention of a modification to remove the daughter board of a U87 and do the following modification to versions 03 through 05 (mine is an 04). Can someone recommend to me a U.S based tech (including forum members capable of doing the job). I know Klaus is very busy, and it's apparently not that hard (but not easy enough for me to do myself).
Thanks!

So if you want to keep the mic stock, you can keep the coupling cap but you may want to throw out the daughter board of versions #03 though #05 and replace with discrete FET, 47kΩ drain resistor, source cap and resistor (which needs to be biased) and add a 1 gig Ω shut at the FET gate.
All this is fairly easy to do (at least for a mic tech)
