While we are on the subject, I too have a 639 ribbon mic. Mine is the
A model, which only has three patterns. Both the ribbon and dynamic
sections of my microphone work, but the switch wafer rotted out a while
back and I need a wiring diagram to repair the microphone. I did find
a manual for the mic on line, but alas, there is no diagram.

I was always told it didn't work, and the output was low, etc...
Come to find out, it's a 'balanced line output' mic, and when I hung
an XLR
connector on it, and plugged it into
my speech-amp it really came to life.
So, what I'm looking for is the top part of the microphone exterior
(comes in
three stages) to replace mine that's
got some broken peices, missing paint, etc... I can re-do the screen
inside the
selected covers, and I'll re-finish
the exterior first, with period grey wrinkle pain, but I need to have
a complete
set of 639B mic covers, first.
Any help?
