The Anti-Lambo
I really don't think it's that big a thing. Keep in mind this mic has been around since the 60s, as far as I know.
There's a huge list of electronic equipment known to suffer from the foam degrading or, worse yet, turning to sticky goo!
Microphones, mixers, synthesisers...
I had an RE20 capsule replaced for free by Electrovoice not that long ago under their lifetime warranty.
This was a second hand microphone...They didn't even ask!
Those things are built like tanks. After the nuclear holocaust there will be nothing left but cockroaches and RE20s.
