Hey guys, I recently got my hands on a Beyer M88N(C) with a broken capsule. One of the copper wires broke right at the voice coil, and since disassembling the capsule seems more than I can handle, I'm looking at replacing the capsule assembly.
Only problem is, the XLR barrel on these vintage models is threaded and screwed onto the body, but also glued with two-part epoxy. Apparently, it requires insane amount of heat to loosen the glue, or so was I told.
Does anybody have any experience opening these up? Last resort is splicing the existing wires, but I'd rather do it the proper way.
