Title: Need to fix CA-14s with clip on wrong side. Use superglue and model paint?!
Post by: tapersaregeeks on April 11, 2011, 03:09:08 PM
A couple months ago I got some Church Audio CA-14 mics, but one of them had the clip on the wrong side and now when I tape shows that mic keeps sliding down and pointing at the floor so I need to re-attach the clip on the proper side.

Just wondering if any of you mic experts out there can tell me if Super Glue (RIP Harry Coover) and model paint would be okay for re-attaching and painting mic clips or is there something better I should use.

Thanks for your help!

pretty sure chris uses some similar epoxy or super glue to attach them to begin with. Hopefully he'll chime in on this as well.

No I dont use glue I use lead free solder. So send them back and I WILL fix them free of charge. And I will ship them back for free.

Thanks a lot for the offer Chris! I really appreciate it. ;D

I was hoping I could do it myself so I wouldn't have to go without the mics for a bit, but I know nothing about soldering!

I'll send them back in May when there's a lull in shows I'm going to.

Cheers!
