Mic stand connection

Not sure if this is the right channel, but have a question around mic stand connections. I recently received a used big briar Etherwave theremin that seems to have lost the piece that connects it to a mic stand at some point in its life. It’s been working fine on a table top for now, but I’d like a bit more flexibility. Any advice on what I should get to replace the connector. The original drill holes where it was screwed in are there, so something with the same spacing would be best.

I use this one, not sure if the mounting holes will match:

Wow, I'm sure glad they included that photo. Without that I would have had no idea what I was getting.

Hello MuteNewt,

This might work

Ha ha!  I can see the photo in my old orders, not sure why they're not linking to it.  It looks like this:

dewster: ahahah thanks for the image.

MuteNewt: you may want to turn this 1/6 turn off the previous orientation and not use the existing holes; there's a chance that they were stripped or loose. If you turn 1/6, mark and pre-drill new holes you'll have fresh strong wood to screw into.

Thanks all, one of these should work! Good call on rotating it, Daniel, that solves the potential spacing issue as well.
