Fixing a 414, 421, RE20

[Guest]

A drummer smacked my AGK414 and it stopped working.

No surprise there . . .

Where is a reliable service place for repairing such a mishap? The
damage is not obvious inside; nothing appears to be disconnected,
fried or shorted.

Someplace that won't butcher it would be nice. Other than getting
pounded, it's in great shape.

I also have an RE20 and 421 that are acting up. Same place?





Thanks -

Nope, but I'll bet that given the above clue, you can figure it out.
Unless you want a microphone modified the way a particular microphone
tweaker thinks, it really doesn't make a lot of sense to send a mic
for repair to any place other than the manufacturer. It's unlikely
that the manufacturer will charge you any more for resoldering a wire
than the local music electronics repair shop. And if it needs real
parts replaced, the manufacturer will have them available or will tell
you that they're not.
