Good evening all,,, Pardon for posting this on another DIY Forum, but wasn't sure where to go,,,but this cool mic came with an old Webster Electronics amp, & look what I see when I open the capsule,,, diaphragm & internals seems to be all there, but the 2 wires coming from the small tranny, are disconnected from the 2 solder joints at that wafer beneath the magnet. How would I determine which wire goes where? I s'pose one way would be is to wire it & see if it's OOP with another known 'correct' mic,,, but is there any other telltale sign from before my time?
Thanks all & be well
Kenny

Probably make little difference .
You could check to see if either tab connects to the chassis ....
And if so the black would probably have been there .

Well, wiring either way didn't do much, but thru the amp you could hear the rustling of my hands holding the back of the mic & my poking around
Thanks, Kenny
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
the wires... Here's a pic of this hardened black goo that seems to be emminating from that tiny tranny,, like tranny blood,, look familiar at all?Thanks, Kenny

I advise you to not measure the transformer with an ordinary multimeter. Some microphone transformers get magnetised when being fed a dc-current. I don't know if this also applies for your transformer, but better safe than sorry.
