I have an altec 29B capsule in need of repair. the metal film has partially come away from the plastic membrane. I'd appreciate any info on the materials used for these capsules and/or recommendations for who I might contact for repair.

The material is either PVC or mylar, sputtered with gold, aluminium, nickel, titanium...
There are several people that do repairs. Google for condenser microphone repair and you're likely to find one in your country. Some are members here.
You could place an ad in the Jobs Available section.

The Altec 29b is a OEM version of the CK28, made by AKG. Maybe that helps?

My understanding is the early ones are, the later are not.
