When I was a kid I took apart a U67 to see why it wasn't working. (I didn't know It needed it's own power.) I found a wire that wasn't connected to the capsule... Yeah, the same capsule I put my filthy fingers all over! tutt
If this thread is the "MOST stupid thing..." Then my story doesn't stop there.
I had a
friend (?), while looking through my mics, picked up the U67 and said... "This isn't aaaa, um...
No it isn't. Hmm. So what are you doing with that mic?" I told him it didn't work. He asked if he could have it... I smiled and said, sure...
That mic is in a studio here in Philly. My
friend gave it to them for time.
The few people I've talked to about it, say it wasn't fully repaired, and doesn't work right...
Although... my
friend used it on his record, and his record sounds good to me.
I've always been too upset/embaressed to go and see what the mic sounds like, first hand!!!
