I now have a digital camera and can take some pics of my JK box. If that would help, let me know. This is the box with adjustable gain versus fixed/no gain.

I can do the same for my 460>ck1x equipment
Thanks for the offers guys. If you get a chance, I'd really like to understand how that center pin is fitted. There seem to be two possibilities. One is to have a socket to fit it, and push just a little bit up. There is some spring in the pin. Another way it to have a crimp of some sort in the socket.
Anyway, I got fed up last night and just hardwired to the capsule. I guess it was the medication (
) I took, made me see things in a new light
. All I did was wedge a thin copper wire between the capsule metal and the plastic insert. That connects to the body. I put another wire under the nut that holds the center pin. In the process I clumsily dissassembled the capsule. There is really not much there at all! Just a gold (?) diaphragm, a backplate with holes, and some kind of opening in the back. This is a single unit mounted on plastic, soldered to a spring, plus a metal sheet/grille in the front of the capsule, and a separator ring.
Anyway, all the parts near the capsule are worth $20 max, so I'm just going to glue-tape it up and cover wth copper foil.
I'll report with gruesome pics in a few weeks.
