lomo 19a19 info?

[soundguy]

I just got a 19a19 on the bench here, I cant for my life figure out how to open this thing up. Anyone ever take one apart? The mic is making a "wooshing" sound after you talk into it, assuming its a cap that needs attention.

Would love to see a schematic for this mic, I dont know the history but Im guessing its an update on the 19a9, they appear to use the same capsule, tube and are both cathode followers and sound very similar.

This guy sells Lomos and knows his stuff.

I would try asking him.

Ohhhh.... I'd love a Lomo.

The pictures here make me think you need to take the front grill cast metal piece off(looks like a press fit?) then remove the grills then remove the three screws at the bottom and push the electronics out the top.

note in pictures 3,4,5,6 the small screw and part in the picture I wonder where they are on the microphone.

The wooshing could be a dirty capsule.

I like how that microphone looks.
