It is unlikely that can be fixed, as the thing has epoxy behind it.  The problem could be either in the capsule itself, or in the wire, right where it comes out of the epoxy.  Either way, it is unlikely fixable.  Talk to Chris Church, though.  I'm sure he's messed with this stuff.

If the capsule is really dead, I would like to disassemble it, though.  I'm curious what parts are behind the capsule.  i'm guessing there is at least one transistor, and maybe something else.

PS: Oh yeah, don't pay huge money to replace the capsule.  Some of us think Countryman B3 sound better .

Answer is maybe, but probably not.
