I wouldn't go for goof off, that's some pretty harsh stuff. I'd recommend goo gone, which is citrus based. works wonders on all kinds of sticker sludge.

Yes, beyer usa will swap the guts out for new guts, which will address any magnet problems, etc.

they don't re-ribbon mics tho ( which means if you blow the ribbon, they give you all new guts)...

Yup, Mark and I have had a few ribbon mic conversations, and he's a great guy! And if you're on the other side of the pond, you could probably pound on Roddys door and ask I've also been prodded into re-ribboning microphones when I have the time, and sometimes a re-ribbon can't get you there (when m...

for me, $255 for used ribbon mic off ebay is very questionable. I've seen a few cases where magnets have given up the ghost, some where the ribbons are blown, or severely stretched(may still make a noise, but not working how it was intended). for a hundred bones( maybe 150) more, you can likely get ...

After some research on my part, it appears royer does have a patent on the r-121, so if I were dood haukin royer alikes, I'd find a hole and hold on to my nuggets

well, in order to have a patent issue, you first have to have a patent. That may or may not exist. And the case where everybody had patents, perhaps B&O would take a swing at Royer to start with. Here's a pic of the B&O BM4 (the motor is out, but it has little wings that protrude around the ...

Well, no one bit, so I'll take a swing *Disclaimer* I've never looked inside a Nady ribbon microphone I did happen to look at a couple prototype microphones that looked like the royer-type thing, and the lollipop type thing. My notes were that they shared similar ribbon geometry, magnet structure, a...

yes, your on the right path. Ground lug connects to chassis(make sure it makes good connection with metal), and the power supply ground should connect to that point from one place only.

I've heard Metcal is the bomb ( and know many who say so, religiously).

I'm using a Hakko 936. For the price it's hard to beat.

It's built a studios worth of equipment, and an assload of microphones, and still goin strong
