Geert,
From your description of the "straight connections" and round plug, I

I have repaired several of these for ZL amateurs - by a similar method.
My theory is that the large lump of steel plate (27g) in these mics could
contribute as it means the mic has more kinetic energy when dropped. Three
of the mics I repaired were damaged in shipment from USA to New Zealand.

I worked in a factory making injection molded plastic items, which I
presume the mic cases are. If the machines are not adjusted properly --
temperature, pressure, dwell, cooling, etc., it's possible to make parts
that are extremely brittle. Sometimes the stress of assembly and

Ian,
Elecraft has had a 'rash' of those incidents, but I thought they
addressed that with the mic vendor (yes, Elecraft does not stock parts
for the mic, they buy them whole from the vendor).
There was some speculation a few months ago about the cause -- and I
don't know the answer. Many
