A question for Hand Andy, When you ohm test from pin 1 and pin 2 at the mic connector and the ohm's don't change form 1,038 ohm's no mater where the Dyna mike control is turned to. I never red what to do...
I was curious if he ever found the L34 P/N ECRFZ0001 0.23uH coil he was needing, I'm in need of one as well. Barkett has the L33 for the 99V P/N ECRFZ10045 0.16uH core and wondered if he used the one that Barkett sold one, I guess i could contact Greg and see if his 0.16uH coil would work in...
