Resonator has come loose on the Mic

So my SM57 had lost some gain so I opened up the microphone to see if I could fix it, of course, I just made it worse and the resonator came off the top of the mic and the adhesive seems to be dry so I cant stick it back on. I also tried just holding the loose part back onto where it should be but i couldn’t get any sound from it.

I know I might of just totally written off the mic but just wanted to see if anyone knew if it was a fixable issue, any help would be appreciated.

I have attached some images for reference.

Thanks!

Hey, I suggest the head is scrap. Looks like you have broken the 2 small wires from the ring to the mic insides.

They are really thin…

Hey…looks like the two miniature wires have broken from the coil these go down either side to the body connections . do-able but you will need a very fine iron and a good magnifier
