Refurbishment of an Ibanez TH300 dynamic microphone

I bought an Ibanez TH300 for 1€ on the local flea-market.

All parts need to be cleaned separately without water. The cage is scrubbed of with a wire brush

and the housing is sanded until there is only metal left. The membrane of the capsule is only cleaned by air to prevent damaging the free moving coil of the diaphragm.

The rubber bouncers are sprayed with silicone spray to make them smooth again. Everything out of metal is covered with derust liquid, and then polished until everything is nice and shiny again

Before painting, the parts are checked to be dry and fat-free. After 2 layers of black spraypaint tape can be used to generate a funky pattern on the housing. To prevent drops of paint on the cage, only very thin layers of paint are applied.

A new windshield is cut out of thin foam. This needs a little try and error but worked great for me.

After putting the parts back together we have an nice looking, and working dynamic microphone again.
