I would rather see them all healthy and able to complete a tour and make a good album rather. I’m in no rush, I’ve got 30+ years of their music to tide me over.
The U67 has a problem because there is a 1 uF capacitor inside which connects the tube to the output transformer. This cap is 50 years old and shot. Consider that up until 1980 the mic was only 15-20 years old so it still sounded ok.
You need to replace that component (you also need a good tech because the capacitor is not easily accessible).
Once replaced you’ll get a brighter and more focused top end and a tighter bottom.
I can guarantee it works, and that the sound when they were new was quite different because of this!

Posted at 00:05h, 04 FebruaryIm glad they’re doing a new album, but it’s too early to get excited already. Will probably be released in 2013 or something 🙂
And the health thing… I guess someone has been smoking too much 😉
