Mic repair and maintenence. Screw that mic!

Question

Hey Fellas,

I have a workhorse shure sm57 that has a problem.

The tiny screw that holds in the female XLR jack to the mic housing appears to be gone. Mic works fine, but the whole jack wants to come out of the housing when you unplug a cable.

Anybody have this dilemma and/or know where to get the replacements?

You can probably order one directly from Shure or through one of their dealers. If the microphone is a real beater, they have a flat rate repair/replacement program that will get you a brand new one for $50 or $60.

Should be a standard sized set screw. You could cannibalize one from a bad mic cable.

If you're friendly with a local studio they may have some spares that they could give you.
