Basically, on the F XLR that plugs into the mic, you remove the shield (Pin 1) and tie it to the little loop on the chassis of the plug at the top. (Switchcraft style) I tried it and was amazed. It dropped the noise floor into the basement. It made the mics useable again. Needless to say...I am one happy camper.
Nice - Great information! Thanks for sharing this. It's great for you and the mics that it was such an easy solution and nothing seriously wrong with the internals.

Enjoy them!
