On my black P420, with fine sandpaper I cleaned the paint a little in some places, for a better electrical contact, I tightened the nut well and the hum disappeared

Hi @yuaylooper !
I was referring to all the mechanical, metallic parts of the microphone body, which come into electrical contact, which form GND.
In my case, the outer parts of the metal body, which electrically shield (Faraday cage), did not make perfect galvanic contact because of the paint.

Bravo! You solved the problem, simple, elegant and cheap.
The community of DIY addicts you're a part of is the coolest!

(by the way, my nephew, who grew up and lived in Germany, went on a trip to Thailand about two years ago and fell in love with your country and a woman and got married. He always sends me pictures of magnificent landscapes.
I envy him)

This is off-topic for the message thread, but.....

A LONG time friend James and his wife visited Thailand sometime "pre covid" and really loved it. Within that same year, they packed up everything and moved there. James told me they were never returning to the USA. Must be a really nice place! Alas, his email address no longer works.
