Hello all,

I have a sick 70s creamy white MD421 which seems to have the common problem of having an impact transfered to the cartridge and now sounds honky. I think this is a fairly common problem with these older mics.

Does anyone know of a mic repairer that can fix old MD421s, or is it the case that earlier MD421s were unrepairable / disposable once in need of any repair?

My local distributor had a listen to it and pretty much said yep, it's broken, to repair will cost significantly more than I can get one new elsewhere, plus I will basically end up with the vintage case over a MD421 mkII guts.
 
From my dealings so far with Sennheiser in this regard, I believe that it's more likely to be a third party repairer that will repair these older 421s.
 
we have a kinda older Senn. MD441 i think it is, its a big mic, very sexy looking and we seem to have a problem with it, although its been a year since i tested it and i cant remember the results...

i will test it...

how bout Mr. MSHilarious? he builds mics, so maybe he could fix one..
