So I'm cruising eBAY looking for small parts that we can't afford to buy new. Lo and behold, this pops up as a suggestion:.  Three OC White booms and risers! Looked at the BIN price of $75.00 and made an executive decision (polite way of saying impulse purchase) to buy them, even with springs missing. Off to the OC White website and saw the springs were all of $4.95. Added them to the cart. Just for the heck of it, I took a look for another base to match the first two (see the arrow) - I finally broke down and added the matching riser for $40.00.
Waiting for a response from OC White on if they can either sell us matching "shadow white" paint, or if they will run the yokes for our EV309A shock mounts through the paint line....
How's the song by the Kinks go......I'm on a low budget

Score! Looks like a good deal.
My budget allows for the $12.95 eBay booms. Biggest failing I've found with those is the base mount. They'll be ok as long as I don't move them around much.
Your's, on the other hand, will be solid performers for life.

Problem is the "pin" is just rolled sheet metal, not solid but yes, a better base would be nice.
Maybe I can shove a solid pin into the hollow rolled pin.
