Just bought a t-bone SCT-800 (SE5500) valve condenser mic 2nd hand. Noticed that when I gently swayed the microphone backwards and forwards that the sound peaks and cut-outs momentarily. I thought this might be the cable, but holding the mike steady and moving the cable does nothing.
So I took it apart and had a look at the capsule:
Notice the crease in the upper right and centre right. Doesn't look good to me, but could this be the cause of the problems I'm noticing?
I don't want to spend hundreds of pounds modding it, so I'm wondering if a re-skin might be in order. I'm based in UK so any recommendations would be gratefully received.
