What happened? Grille damaged?

My previous owner removed the inner metal mesh.. which leads to a slight hum..
Clean the metal ring parts first. (Both grille and mic body, use sandpaper)See old designs like AKG c12 had one layer mesh,and those had no hum.

already done.. if i use a grill from my second STC2000 (with mesh) hum ist gone..
Show us pictures. Internal soldering of the grille might be damaged when the other layers were removed

I have always serious doubts about the 'improvement' of removing layers of mesh.
Neumann often uses three layers of mesh in their microphones.
Hum with only one layer of mesh is a known problem.
It also depends on the way the microphone capsule is connected: is the polarisation voltage applied to the membrane(s), or on the backplate. This will make an important difference in the sensitivity for hum.

C12 had a windscreen that had three layers of mesh, and if you look back in old photos you will see them often.
If you put one on a perfect C12 with extremely low noise floor, don’t be surprised if the noise floor gets even lower. Faraday cage on steroids.

Aren’t these ShuaiYin bodies often available in the classifieds? Or ye old DIY mic shop which shall not be mentioned?
You can order new headbasket from Thomann support/spare parts.
T.bone sct700 will fit too.
Advanced audio sells headbasket for this mics too.
What mod are you planing to do to this mic?
I have 2 with standard Apex 460 mod and K47 type capsule. Amazing mic for barging.

hi i have mod it withe k47 from advancend audio and the second with M7 capsule (amazing)!, sct700 ist not optimal because this have no side holes..
Indeed M7 is awesome capsule,
I changed transformer to UTM as well.
Did you change zeners in PSU as well?
Probably with some drilling you can fit that headbasket .While ago I wanted to swap stock headbasket to sct700 but gave up that idea.
