480sound Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Cos 11's take a beating. I have 3 that need repair; a bad connector, wire wind screen came off and a head pulled loose. What are your recommendations for places to send them in for repair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Wilcox advertises that they repair them. http://www.wilcoxsound.net/index.html I've not had any worked on by them, though -- maybe others here have. Here's their eBay listing for the service: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SANKEN-COS-11-WIRELESS-LAVALIER-MIC-REPAIR-WE-WILL-REPAIR-YOUR-MIC-/371342940032?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5675c39780 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Also, keep in mind that the price of a new COS-11D without accessories or connector (for those who like to wire their own) is only $289. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean McCormick Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Wilcox is the only place I've used or have been aware of. Can get log jammed there occasionally, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 seems kinda pricey. I think Audio Department charged me around $65 for a repair. (replace lemo connector) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S Harber Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Wilcox is the only place I know if that can repair them at the mic head if that's where the issue is. Otherwise, if it's simply at the connector you can easily do it or I'd suppose anywhere that can solder could pull it off. Screen-wise I have no experience other than telling production "we need new mic here". Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredS Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Wilcox replaced noisy cables on 3 of mine. One took some time due to employee vacation, but all have worked great after return. Thumbs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
