Seeking a tech who can perform a mic mod for me.

Hi! I'm a voiceover guy and do not do DIY work but do have what is said to be a fairly straightforward mod that I'd like to have performed on an AKG P 220 mic, per a thread referenced below, posted on the forum.

If there are any US-based freelancers who'd be available - or if you anyone can offer a referral to a person/place to do a 'one-off'project whereby I 'd send over the "donor mic" to have this capacitor changed out as described,
I'd love to hear from you! Thanks!

Hi,
This mod would literally take me 5 minutes. I'm in Wisconsin - send me a PM. (note, I'm not a professional, just DIYer)

Hi this is kinda out of the blue I realize but...i'm considering doing this mod - again - because...for some reason last year when i had an engineer friend do this, with a 540 pF ceramic capacitor ..cuz i was going for closer to a U87aI (somewhat brighter) flavor than the vintage 87.... I guess i spaced on the fact that my "donor mic" for the change-out - was an AKG Perception 200, not a 220. I am researching whether that matters. If the capsule and circuitry in the two models are identical i'm fine with it but...if there's some improvement possibly by modding a 220 (or 420-but they seem to be identical to the 220) - I might want to mod another one. If still interested, I'd be glad to try and work something out with you on it! Thanks! Mike (in Michigan)
