MXL V63M how to open the case

[Rick H]

My V63M after 22 years has become noisy. I suspect bad caps. I live in Honduras and ordering a kit of parts is very expensive to ship here but I can buy parts locally. My first question is: How do I open the mic case to expose the circuit board?

What sort of noise? And why caps?

And as in 99% of cases, you unscrew the bottom bell.

Welcome Rick,

My V63M after 22 years has become noisy. I suspect bad caps. I live in Honduras and ordering a kit of parts is very expensive to ship here but I can buy parts locally. My first question is: How do I open the mic case to expose the circuit board?

Yes, describe the noises (or record them) so that we can help you better. I suspect that your microphone has problems in the high impedance area or in the microphone capsule itself due to moisture (and dust?).
