Last post by Kmoody - Yesterday at 09:37:28 PMThank You. I just ordered that set from Ebay. I soaked the transmitter in paint thinner for a day and the old washer just about fell off on their own.

If so, these type of diaphragms don't have a tension adjustment, they are attached to the carbon capsule with a center screw/nut.

Last post by Westrex - Yesterday at 09:19:19 PMHey everyone,
The last condenser I bought didn't have the blue tint, so I never installed it (at least I didn't lose much). However, I found a good replacement that is about the same dimensions of the cracked one, and more importantly has the blue tint. The 708 Headliner Duo doesn't have a separate heat filter, the condenser is tinted blue.
here's a link to the one I bought (I'm pretty sure it fits according to my math): http://www.ebay.com/itm/275462065872

Last post by LarryInMichigan - Yesterday at 08:56:01 PMSomething in the handset is probably not making a proper electrical connection. I would try to dismantle the handset to see where the problem may be. I have no idea how the inside of the handset looks.

Last post by Spikepaga - Yesterday at 08:37:17 PMThank you all for your replies. I have been reading several topics that indicate resolutions that involve hitting something, so today I hit the receiver against my chest, and surely, the noise stopped completely.
What does this point to? What should I do to resolve this permanently? Still open the entire thing?
Thanks for all your help
