In search of Palomar SL41

[Eldorado828]

Well fellas, I'm wanting a replacement mic for my anytone rigs or at least my base because I don't much care about for the stock mics. The SL41 is an electret so I believe it'll mate nicely with the anytone but problem is they're all sold out and when it had some in my possession I didn't do they wise thing to keep one.. Anyone have a good condition sl41 they'd like part with? Or know who might possibly stock one?

Avera distributing has them in stock.

Why are these not available here in the states?

Youd need to contact Eric Lewis and ask him why. None of the wholesalers that I’ve spoken with can get a response from him, same issue goes for the RFX95HD’s.

I had gotten a few of these and I too should have held on to at least one. Most likely we’ll never see these offered again unless Eric steps his game up.

Wow on the other side of the pond, a little closer I should have specified haha

I know Rutledge told me me they were coming but I've heard that a few times and not holding my breath so that's why I turned to the forum for a used one. I should have known they'd dissappear for good..

Yeah and only $75 bucks for it not including the add-ons. I’ll pass, it’s not that good of a mic especially when I was buying them for about 1/3 of that.

If those guys could just be consistent with a product right! We know they can make a good product, now if they could just be consistent.

Yeah Eric R told me the same thing. My sales rep told me the story of how they couldn’t get returned phone calls or emails. So I don’t know who to believe but I have a sweet spot for my sales rep, so I’ll go with them.

Well maybe he’s all wrapped up in playing RCI Importer now? Idk. But yea I’ll agree, consistency goes a long way.

I think you nailed it on the rci part. Maybe it's the new bread and butter.

I believe the “notify me” means it’s not in stock.

The original is very consistent. Acoustically it's difficult to tell the difference between it and the Heil PR 781.

My name is on a waiting list and Eric said he would call me as soon as the new batch is ready for Market. Eric had to find a new manufacturer to build them for him.
