New life for a vintage element?

I always appreciate meeting new people who have something good to add to the harmonica world. Recently I sent a vintage Shure small bullet mic off to Greg Heumann at BlowsMeAway to have the little-used later-added volume control taken out, and to check on some issues I've been having where it wouldn't work. (I'd thought the problem was because the volume control was interferring with my getting a good contact screwing down the Switchcraft connection on the mic.) Of course, we all know Greg, not only from his thread on this Forum, but also from David's interview with him and lots of other things. Greg reported that once he'd opened up the mic, it looked as though my ancient CR element was a mess. E.g., rusted, with a disconnection in the mechanism, etc. Not his expertise, he said, but on my OK he sent it up to Mark Wilson of LeWilson mics in Oregon. Turns out that one of the things Mark does is restore vintage elements. Never knew one could actually do that! Anyway, Mark worked on it and sent it back to me, and the mic works as though it just came off the assembly line 75 years ago! Like Greg, Ron Hobdy at Rockin' Ron's Music, and a lot of other folks David has told us about, Mark is another great-customer-service-at-reasonable-prices kind of guy. Check out his take on element repair at https://lewilsonmicrophones.com/mic-repair.html. One more contact to add to my Rolodex. (For those of you young harp players who don't know what a Rolodex is ... ask your Dad. Or your grandfather.)
