Mic stand parts: where to buy

[Fountain Of Euph]

Hi all,
I have a bunch (like 5) of round mic stand bases. I was hoping to build a bunch of short ( bass drum/amp/cello) sized boom stands with them. However I have been unable to find the upright(non boom) part. Hopefully I can build these for less than buying the stands new. Any suggestions on where I can find parts. I am willing to mix brands ie cheep upright with nice K&M boom.

I'm certain any Atlas/AKG/K&M dealer can provide upright w/o base, but likely you have to call or email. It won't be on the websites. For example,

Parts may cost more than whole stands.

Donate them to the Electrics Dept.; orphaned mic stand bases make great pigeon plate s.

Dropping stuff off at the recyclers can be cathartic. Also, check to make sure the threads on the bases are usable before spending money on parts. I've encountered bad threads on more than a few, old Atlas bases.

It's sad how true this probably is. I was wanting to replace the locknuts on several of our stands (the originals were lost), and was astounded how expensive a few nuts could be. I suspect that there is just insufficient volume/margin to make with worthwhile for most retailers to offer these less expensive parts.

Do you have a machine shop or welding shop? They might be able to create something that could screw into the base, or weld a new pole to the base?

New in the boxes....

Or can I sell them to someone who has not yet seen this thread

If not handled by buffoons, the little On Stage stands hold up well.
