Electro-Voice 667A repair

[Paul Babiak]

Is anyone still repairing these mic's?
I have dis-assembled it far enough to see that a voice coil wire is
broken just before it is routed down a hole. The broken end in the hole
is not visible. I don't want to go any further. I would appreciated
being pointed in the direction of anyone doing repairs, preferably in
Canada. Thanks.

The microphone is actually a 666. The magic box makes it part of a 667
system.

I would talk to Douglas Walker of Walker Microphones in Ontario. I don't
think he does dynamics, but he will know who does if anyone in Canada does.

Those elements were never designed to be repaired, they were just intended
for replacement, but EV hasn't had replacements for 25 years now. When
the wire breaks in one place, it's probably apt to break in another one,
which makes working on them a nightmare.

Thanks Scott. I actually know Doug and will give him a call.
