Hi there did it!

And, I like the results. However, I didn't care to boil it. I just used one of those very hot "hairdryer"-things (edit: searched it: hot-air gun). I don't know whats it called in english. But if you have one of those around, use it. It took about half a minute, and you can heat it just as much up so that you can pull out the tranny.

I believe if you boil too long all the adhesive will melt and u end up with a mess.

Just a hint.

BTW...I think it sounds pretty good. I did an sm58 and it will do a good job on vocals I believe. Have to test it out tomorrow.

The whole mod took about 20 minutes. and if you are careful and don't **** with the tranny () you can even reassemble it. However, I won't.

Cheers!
