sorry for the thread Hijack jon, but thank you to jamil and Mitch........I generally have no problems with shipping stuff, then I realised the obvious, its a Ribbon. and knowing the 4.5 months an ongoing saga has been going on with OZ post about a speaker they dropped something on and refuse to admit fault, everyone from the american distributor, USPS, the guy who ordered the speaker can see the damage and are happy to proceed..... I think Serge will be fine......

Rob did a great job repairing some old AKG mics for me, he's on this forum somewhere!

we're in melbourne and have sent glen phimester a number of our old (and expensive) ribbons over the years, he turns them around quickly and at a very reasonable price. always using standard post with insurance (well packed of course). a ribbon mic with a busted ribbon is really just a transformer, ie nothing left to break! at least the old RCAs are... i don't know how sturdy newer ribbon mics are in comparison (not very, i'm guessing). but it goes without saying that insurance and padding are mandatory.

of course i wouldn't want to take business away from serge... but my experience has been with glen and i recommend him most highly.

Hi i also have an EV RE-20 mic that needs repair. i know this is an old thread but wondering how you went with your repair. do you have any recommendations

cheers,
jono

I've repaired many an RE-20...although sometimes the capsule is open circuit and then it is unrepairable unless you want to shell out the big bucks for a replacement capsule.

hi rob
when it is placed in the kick drum, it makes a sort of rattling sound.
whats the best way to contact you for a repair?

thanks

jono

[rob]

email me rob@proharmonic.com

there are two possibilities, one is easily solved the other one writes off the capsule...keep your fingers crossed
