Damnit! 67 help, please?

[Guest]

So someone sent a nice old u-67 flying and the resultant impact did a number on the capsule mount. I've had success with repairing it (for now), but damn if there's one little bit that I am lost on its proper orientation. As the unit was falling apart when I removed it, I wasn't able to really ascertain the original placement. It's the little 6mm by 4mm rectangular piece that has a 90 degree bend on one end and a hole in the middle. I haven't actually taken these apart fully before, so if anybody has an exploded diagram of this it would be a lifesaver. Mine and the employee responsible!

Thanks!

Edit: Well, the other 67 just came out of session, and taking it apart reveals no such part immediately visible. I swear this thing fell out when I pulled the mount out of the head...am I losing my mind? I'm hoping somebody has dissected these before and might know.

Same happened to me with one of my U87. Some rectangular metalpart felt out of it when I opened it and I had no idea where it came from. But it still works, so I don´t care. It´s german engineering spirit that things work even if some parts are missing. ( I didn´t find this piece on the exploded diagram! )

If you need an exploded diagram contact your Neumann dealer. Neumann supplies them with Ersatzteillisten (sparepartlists) which includes those diagrams.

Thanks Jens, I'm actually putting it back together without it so I hope you're right. Neumann USA is a pain to deal with, usually a very slow response to inquiries like this. Thanks for the advice though.

Edit:...and it works! Thanks again Jens.
