I recall dimly an article or chapter in a dusty old tome, a method for
'fixing' carbon mics where they have sat a long time and the granules
have stuck together. It didn't involve disassembly, and was an
electromechanically assisted fix as I recall. I can't recall which
volume it was in. Over 600 dusty old tomes here, I'll never find it!
