Hi all -

For years I have been using one of the old, now-discontinued SONY PBR-330 p=
arabolic dishes
to record cicadas and other insects.  The small size of the parabola has no=
t been a problem
since these are mostly high-frequency bugs, and if anything has been an adv=
antage,
especially given the resilience and durabiity of the material.  Durable as =
it may be, it is finally
wearing out and I have not been able to find a similar replacement (size, s=
olid construction,
mounts any microphone, easy handle).

Does anyone know of a source that sells these, or anyone who wishes to get =
rid of an old
one?  Alternatively, I would appreciate recommendations -- what other model=
 out there is not
too large, not too floppy, and allows one to mount any mike (actually, Senn=
heiser omni in my
case).

Thanks for your time,
