Michael,
I've had to "de-foam" a couple of Mk IVs in the last few years. Remove the four screws holding the cage and you can get most of the foam out while safely remote from the capsules. I took the foam out of the leather case; I just place the microphone in a USPS Priority Mail padded envelope which is a conveniently perfect fit. The microphone seems to do acceptably well wind-wise without the foam. though I imagine it's attracting significantly more dust. I have yet to find a source of acoustic foam that's thin enough to replace the original. The foam in the cases in both mikes I've serviced has held up well, so I can't advise on that. Sorry!

Argh. Any ideas for dealing with it? I am incredibly scared to open the mic lest I find foam gunk all over those beautiful capsules!!!
