I made the mistake of buying an American D22 on eBay a while back, just trusting the seller's description of "working." I get the mic and it just sound wrong. Sent it to Stephen Sank who just said it was inoperable, though upon inspection I can tell that the coil winding is intact but one of the ends was not connected properly to the output transformer. I have no interest in trying to repair this on my own because I know from bad past experiences that trying to rejoin those old sub-30 gauge windings to anything is just asking for trouble. In dealing with Sank, he ended up sending me all of his broken D22s and D33s, so among all the stuff surely I have enough to at least get one working microphone.

Does anyone in the states actually do dynamic repair anymore? I know micdaddy's not available any longer, but I just wanted to throw the net out and see what might come up. Thanks.
