Just curious. I can get an older 421 (black, but with the metal end instead of the the newer plastic type) dirt cheap from a guy I know of. The mic works (just plugged it in when I was over there, but haven't really had a chance to listen in a good environment), and the body is in near flawless condition. BUT... when I look at the mic from the front, I can pretty clearly see the capsule inside, and on profile I can see the profile of the capsule as well. Shouldn't there be a thin layer of foam inside the basket to would stop this visibility?
I don't have any 421's (I used to have 5, and I don't remember being able to see so clearly inside them). The guy can't tell me anything about the mic's history, so I don't know if it's been hacked into or not.
Thoughts???
Thanks!
