Where do you send it if the ribbon breaks?

from what I've always understood, you're screwed in that case. it becomes a toy for the kids. or, just to be wierd, throw in an old 57 capsule and see what you can make out of your new frankenstein mic.

nady reribbons (they claim), but why bother for the price, and I think apex doesn't do any repairs, L&M might do warranty replacement but they're pretty clear on the apex literature, you toast the ribbon, you've bought a paperweight. for for $80 to $100, I mean seriously, who cares? I've had reribboning done for more than that of other mics.
