[QUOTE="Philip Ulanowsky, post: 10947, member: 7970"] I just went to check my gear for some upcoming interviews and found that a AA had leaked in a wired Sony lav capsule. There is almost no white build-up on the contacts; instead, the chamber has a kind of viscous coating that has interacted with the black paint or surface of the plastic battery holder, so that under the battery the insulated wires (red) were exposed when I wiped the black paint/plastic residue from the chamber with a Q-tip. I have yet to test; the insulation looks OK, but I wanted to ask if this is a matter for repair (if worth it; I paid $50 for the mic on Ebay some years ago), or if I can recoat chamber over the wires myself with something, after cleaning it up. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
