V3 spike

[kirk97132]

That photo helps a lot. So force a small piece of rubber band between the slits? That won't mess up the power connection?

small enough that it is same width as the pin.  Basically provides a cushion between the two pins that kepps them from being pushed together..

I just had this exact problem with my V3 and it was a short in the mic cable recently.  If I moved the cable slightly it would spike the V3.
Sent mic off to have cable fixed. Mic is suppose to be ready today to pick up.

Ordered a cable tester for the future:

Jon Merin had this happen at moedown 2004, and I had a small screwdriver and fixed the issue for good. So I would start with that

Good deal.  I bought his V3 when he sold it.  Still run it today...

Getting the V3 modified with a hirose connector was my solution - all with the help from Michael Grace. The power connector IS the achilles heel of the V3.
