I just posted an easy-to-follow guide to modding the Shinybox 23 ribbon mic. Nothing new here - removing the extra mesh basket and nylon fabric, removing the 2 high-frequency resonators ("waffle plates"), and adding foam to isolate the motor and deaden resonant frequencies in the base...

These same mods can be applied to Nady RSM-2, the Apex 210, the t.bone RB-500, and the Cascade Vin-Jet, as well as others, I believe.
Again, nothing terribly new, but if I'd had a photo guide like this a few years ago, I'd have done the modification much sooner (and had a bit better recordings done with the mics in the meantime!). Hopefully, if anyone is considering doing the mod, this will send them over the edge.
