[TenTec] Studio 1 Mic Paint Job!!

[Jeff Griffin]

 Hmmmm. Jim, Me and at least 2 other people have the same problem with the
black paint blistering on our Studio One's. I don't think I need a new one
either, as it appears they all do that, so why bother. Or is there a
different paint process used on them now that is more resilient? If so I
might like a replacement Mic. I will be going to Dayton, and could bring my
Studio One with me to show to bob.
