The Mic Shop in Nashville.
I love old microphones. In another life I was a recording engineer, and I love running across a site like the above, which features the Neumann U-47 at the top of the page.
I was lucky enough to work in a studio that had a couple of 47s, a 57, and a whole raft of 87s. I once joked that our projects were being engineered by Nazi Germany, but no one laughed. Ahem.
I came to that link while searching for Reactive Sound, which sells little tiny cheap microphones useable for bootlegging concerts. I'm interested because I'm about to buy a minidisc recorder, and need some stuff to plug into it.

For some reason, the Germany link didn't work for me.
I looooove Neumann mics, though.
That's weird. It'll link from Google, but not from here.
Basically, Georg Neumann designed microphones for the Nazis. His company is one of those (like Krups and VW) that came out of the war.
I need a microphone in a bad way. Mine is pure crap.
Yikes! They are some pricy mics.
