Put away the magnifying glass, and get off your hands and knees.
I have a 421 U-5 here, and that little PIA registers 3mm, from what I can see.
This one sounds a little thin, and I fear it needs a new capsule. Any suggestions other than sending it back to Sennheiser?

Pull the resonator and check the diaphragm for ferrous or other debris.

Is the switch still functional ? A 421 I bought was sounding thin as well. It turned out that the little plastic part that makes the switch-ring do the actual switching was broken, so the HPF-switch was stuck in the thinnest position, regardless of the position of the ring. Making some replacement for the little plastic part made the lows coming back.
Bye,

Seems like there was a short in the rats nest around the HPF. What a mess!
Think I have it working though. Thanks everybody. This place is the best...
