I have a Red Type A that has seemingly worn the tube out. It has a low output and is emitting a constant hissing noise. I have found a replacement tube, but cannot figure out how to take this mic apart (three things that look like screws, but none of them are turning with moderate pressure, and I tend to break things when I use brute force). Has anybody here ever taken apart the Red Type A or Blue Stage 2 Bottle Rocket, or knows enough to point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, as I'd like to get this mic back up and running ASAP.
