I just heard that Clarence Kane of ENAK repair has passed away. Talk about a wealth of knowledge, but fortunately it looks like his legacy is continuing with a younger guy taking over! Sad that he's gone, but I know his legacy is going to live on in a TON of mics out there! I included a picture of my 1932 RCA PB-90. When I bought that mic, it got destroyed in shipping. Although it looked bad, it still worked almost perfectly! I sent it off to Clarence to get repaired and got to talk to him a bit during the process and learn some things along the way.

Post your mics that Clarence worked on!

Did speak to Clarence on the phone several times, nice guy. RIP.
