Need a new element for my Shure Model 51

So I just bought a used Shure Model 51 and found it's dead. I get a completed connection (short) across pins 2 and 3. So I'm looking to put in a new element. My first choice would be the Shure R59 from an SM-57 or SM-58. But looking at the length of those cartridges I'd doubt they'll fit in the shell of a Model 51.

I've read your postings from afar for years, so I thought I'd join to see what you guys would suggest for such a shallow shell design. I want to use it for actual on-stage work, low impedence, like an SM-58 would do.

Any suggestions?
 
Wow!!!

101 views here without a single post in reply! I even posted the question in the microphone section, and had an additional 102 views, and got nothing. That makes 203 people looking at a simple question about a very common vintage Shure mic, and knowing nothing about it.

It appears I picked the wrong group of "experts".

Good luck guys, I'm gone...
 
Good luck to you too! :facepalm:
But actually what is it you are trying to accomplish from this mic? are you just using the housing? A sm58 is very different than a model 51.
