I've just built a set of stereo mics from part in a Maplin catalogue, and so
far my budget has hit £8.32. The mics and cable cost about £4, but I decided
to add a battery box so if I wanted to record live I could plug into the
Line In socket on my MD. This brought the cost up to £6.33, then of course I
needed a plastic case to put the battery and electronics in (the most
expensive part at £1.99!)

Just a word of advice - don't rely on the MD and fall asleep in the
lectures - snoring that close to the mics will result in a useles recording
;o)
All the best
