If anyone can forward to me the contact details of a good microphone repairman in the North West of England I'd much appreciate it (or anywhere in the UK, as long as they're OK posting stuff). I've a problem with an Oktava MK012, bought in a matched pair, that an assistant dropped after a show. Now one sounds thicker, like you've got a bung in your ear. I need it fixed!

Any recommendations MUCH appreciated - esp. anyone that can perform a Dorsey/style mod, as that's something I was looking at doing anyway (my fingers don't work well enough to do that kind of fiddly work) and I guess may fix the problem on its own.

Just as additional information, it's definitely the preamp body - the problem is present with each of the 3 types of cap (and the caps work fine on the other body).

Many thanks in advance!
