Just out of curiosity, I wondered if anyone could help me with this problem. I sent the message below to Sonwatcher last night, but he told me he wasn't sure. If anyone out there has any info on this, (I already have the manuals - they don't show this assembly) I would appreciate it immensely.
Hi Sonwatcher. I wanted to tell you I appreciate the posting of the Messenger 223 manual and schematic. I received one as a gift from my late father when I was a boy. I'm cleaning it up. I have a quick question you might know the answer to.
I was taking the microphone mouthpiece cover apart and the inserts came out in my hand. Before I could see how they were arranged, they had separated. There are 2 metal mesh screens, one has a fine mesh cloth-like patch, and the other screen is plain. There is a black foam ring and a reddish paper ring, too. I know the paper ring goes between the internal diaphragm and the rest of the assembly. Do you know the sequence of installation of the other three? Any help is appreciated.
Regards, Don
