Anyway, later I pulled the top off the the 48's
and found the foam had turned to sticky goo.
Cleaned out the goo as best I could .. but still
dead.
So... I figured I could just replace the capsules.
Looked up the price and found they'd cost more
than new SM-48's!
Welcome to the economics of the modern microphone business.
Have you checked whether there's a break in the inteqrnal wiring?
Peace,

Yes, I've checked .. no problems there.
Heck, the mic's are 20++ years old, so I guess
I've gotten my money's worth out of them.
I understand that electrets can become depolorized
but never thought dynamics would/could go bad just
sitting in a box. Live and learn.
