I'm not going to recommend the oven technique which used to be a common fix for the 451, but you might try putting the capsule in a mic bag with some silica gel.

as these mics age, the electronic parts are going to break down, and they are not repair-friendly. At CB,I we had piles of 451s and 460s, and when something went wrong with them the techs whined a lot.
