Oggy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi Basschaterers I've been having a bit of a clear out and found my old 'Shure Unidyne - Mark 3 - Dynamic Mic', it's a Model 545. I've tried it out but I'm getting no-output . Does anyone know where I could get it repaired? I bought it new sometime in the mid 70's, I'd just like to get it up and running for the sake of it really. I live in Hertfordshire (St Albans / Watford area). Any ideas?

51m0n Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Great Mic on snare or guitar cabs in place of a 57! No idea where you can get it repaired though Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggy Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks 51m0n 'Back in the day' I used it for vocals - sounded ok then. I'd like to get it going to see what it sounds like against my SM58 and a TC-Helicon that I've just bought from another Basschater. Anyone know where I can get it sorted?

brensabre79 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 You can try contacting [url="http://www.shure.co.uk/meta_en/contact"]Shure[/url] direct. They have helped me out in the past with 57s. Obviously it'll be out of warranty etc. but they will be more likely to have replacement parts to hand.

Oggy Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well, I took the advice that brensare79 gave and got result. The mic is currently with Shure for repair, really nice guys to deal with. I've been told that "if it's only a bit of re-wiring" they will only charge me for postage. I'll let you know how it turns out. Oggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Excellent; well done them (and yourself, for going the whole hog...). Now then, does it live up to its memories..? How does it compare to the new acquisitions..? The world is waiting with bated breath... Edited March 13, 2015 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggy Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 I've not tried it against the SM58 and the TC-Helicon yet, I'll report back....... Oggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
