I don't think any of the MH3 microphones were made by Heil, although I 
may be mistaken.
I would not be surprised if Elecraft had several vendors for the 
microphones - a much better solution than having a single source supplier.

In any case, contact support at elecraft.com for assistance.  If the 
microphone is out of warranty, then order a new one.
