what if you got a telinga replacement dish      $100 ?
and made a pvc handle (see below)               less than $100
and got a shure 183                                             $100
and had someone change the plug                 less than $100
then you could add another 183 for stereo       $100
and still be under budget.

not exactly off the shelf, but not a whole lot of diy involved either.
The handle involves screwing together off the shelf threaded pvc
fittings.

the guy at my local hardware store really got into helping me.
Hopefully you will have similar luck. (I have the original handle, but
I wanted another one that would slip down over the top of a mic stand).

an electronics repair place could change the mic plug. I used a
switchcraft right angle plug ($7), but there are cheaper, easier to
find plugs.

I did it myself over a cup of tea, so it shouldn't take them long.
Someone (Rob Danielson?) posted instructions that you could give them.

good luck,

Mark
