As most here know, I sent my M-1 in for repair quite some time ago, and it came back working, but with something else broken. So, I send it back in because there are no stops on the gain control. Obviously, something THEY broke while installing a new board. I get a call today informing me of the problem, a broken knob and extension rod stop. Problem, they don't have one in stock and it will be a month or better to get one in. So, they suggested they super glue a stop on and send it back. I opted for that so that I can get the mic back in my hands. I told them to order the part and ship it to me, to which they agreed. what do you think the chances are that I'll ever see that part? Ya, me too. Anyhow, I sent it in the first time in May something. I still don't have a mic. They broke it, can't fix it and I have to eat it.
