    Shure SM57 - needs repair $25

    Wires got yanked - probably an easy repair if you know how!
    Never gigged (setting it up for its first gig is when it happened). I bought new, used in the studio for 20-30 hours total. Sorry, no box or vinyl case (the zipper broke on it!).
    $25, free shipping

    Mike - we can talk you through the fix if you want! It is very easy.

    If not ... you have my address send it over.

    Any mic you buy will be perfectly suited to your needs, until you use it long enough to learn that it's not.

    Here's a pic of the bottom threaded section to the body - looks like the yellow wire has pulled loose here, as well.

    Steen thinks this is a fake Shure because he doesn't recognize the top section with red wires?

    I suck at soldering unless I've got lots of room to do it, and a big blob of solder is ok! (even then, I suck!)
    Frankly, at this point, I'd just as soon get rid of it (if I can get a little money), as I don't need it.

    What the heck did you do? All those wires off!

    The green and yellow wires look right but yeah ... Paul may be right with those red wires - could very well be fake.
