Source for replacement elastic for AKG 414 shockmount?

[Leoaw3]

I've got a 414 where the shockmountelastic has stretched. Where can I get new?
Thanks,

Try a fabric shop. That's what I did. A little patience is needed to
rethread

I'll give you three guesses, and the first one starts with "A."

I had a Neumann shock mount with a rubber hair elastic band (as
opposed to "hair band") tied up with a square knot for a couple of
years, but I felt a lot better about trusting my mic in it when I got
the actual replacement part from Neumann.

I agree....except in this case, AKG lists Gotham as the folks to go to in the
USA. Didn't they just close their doors?

Why would they say that when there is a large AKG service facility in
Nashville?

How strange. I'd think they'd sell the part themselves. Yes, Gotham
Audio Lab just closed a month or so ago, probably whoever maintains
AKG's web site doesn't know it or hasn't changed the listing.

Next step is a phone call to AKG in Nashville. [shudder!]
