reribboning UK
Hey! I've acquired a Chinese made but not shit ribbon mic with a fried-by-phantom-power down a bad XLR ribbon in it. I may have opened it up, had a poke around and made it worse. I am probably but not definitely too drunk with any of my spare time outside of my day job to fix this thing myself. I am in the UK.
Anyone got any thoughts on the matter?
Thanks

Install a new ribbon - kinda difficult but fairly cheap to get materials on the E-bog.
Install a new ribbon motor - easier but not cheap to get materials on the E-bog.
Send it out for repair - easiest but expensive and possibly a substantial wait time.
In the future, poke around other things than ribbon mic's when drinking.

Sage advice thanks.
Option A sounds worth perusing. It's not that I was drunk at the time of poking, more that I didn't invest as much time as I should have in the project due to my busy drinking schedule ahead. I can shift around my schedule if its worth it, and it sounds like I've got nothing to lose.
Any idea's who I can send it to if I want to look into option D?
Oh and I'm new and don't know what an E-bog is.
Thanks again.

Some people have issues saying eBay.
...and they never even heard of gumtree.
From what I understand, if you can play Operation without making the nose buzz, or do the shaky hand game with the bent wire coathanger at the funfair, and you have a passion for making ships in a bottle, doing a re-ribbon is easy.
If you solve most problems with a hammer, and are challenged by furniture from MFI or Ikea, move on.

The previous statement is from a guy who records his own, and other projects for fun. No money is made.

Try Microphone Parts http://microphone-parts.co.uk/
for, well, microphone parts! I've built 2 of their kits - very impressed. They do ribbon parts now too.
