David, I ordered the mic capsules from Frogloggers, and while the Primo sit=
e does not show those caps as wired, they came that way.  Either Primo does=
 that, or Gene, but either way, I plan on using the existing wires so as to=
 avoid having to solder the caps themselves at all!   That's why I was aski=
ng about just twist wiring...if I can avoid solder altogether, given I've N=
EVER soldered anything before(and which may be my issue with my other mics)=
 I will.   On another list, there are several references to glueing mic cap=
s to plugs(RCA in this case, but there were a couple of other references to=
 gluing).   I'm wondering if you could just twist wire the mic cap wires to=
 the wires of the cable, and glue over them for strength.  If they are alre=
ady twisted, that should not effect conductivity and it might be a better w=
ay then soldering for a complete rookie such as myself!   I may try that...=
I can always just cut the wires shorter and star again if it
does not work
