I picked up this sucker on eBay (along with TWO OTHER 421's) for 90 bucks. One was dead, two are rocking.
Awesome deal. I'll give you $45 for the other functioning one.

Could be just a wiring problem in the dead one. Can you handle a soldering kit?
Yep, sure can. I should definitely pop it open and see what's going on (or not going on) in there.
Duno if you've opened one before or not, but be vary careful getting that grille off. It's an acquired skill that costs about the same as a 421 to acquire!
Here is a question for everyone. Best Mic for recording vocals home studio (for Joss Stone type voice - lower end female/jazz R&B) from approximately $500 to $1500. Thanks.

You don't need to, ussually it's a loose wire right behind the input connector, or maybe in the M/V switch. If the problem is in the grill you've got a dead capsule, forget it about it then.
Not strictly true. You can have a loose wire in there too.
More often than not a loose wire will be at the xlr end, but I think my advice was fair.
