How to repair a microphone - Stagg SDM70 (Shure SM57 Clone)

I bought a broken SM57 clone from eBay because I wanted to do a shootout between the clone and the real thing. The reason I chose a broken microphone is so I could fix it and do a video on how to repair a microphone. The microphone in question is a Stage SDM70. When it arrived someone had clearly taken it apart and I assume dropped half of it or pulled too hard as the cables from the capsule had broken away from the xor socket terminals. I then went to take a look at the XLR terminals and it turned out the previous owner had also done this but chewed up the bolt that holds it all together so it was a nightmare to take apart. I managed it though and this is where the video begins. Firstly I sourced a replacement bolt to hold the XLR socket in place. This was a 2.5mm bolt which was 10mm in length. I used a soldering iron to attach new wires to the XLR socket terminals. These terminals are usually labelled 1, 2 and 3. 1 being the ground (which is normally obvious as it is earthed to other parts of the piece of equipment in question), 2 is positive and 3 is negative. Now the XLR socket has wires, I put a new bolt through the bottom half of the microphone and through the XLR socket so it holds in place nicely. Next up is the capsule end of the microphone (the bit you aim sound into). There are two terminals on these style capsules, positive and negative. Luckily one had red pen on it which usually means positive. Had this not been the case I would have guessed...
