Hello RO,
I have a couple of cheap shock mounts I got for a couple of MK-319's off ebay about ten years ago. Also, a third one for a AKG C4000B/414.

The black colored cord thats used to keep the shock mount strung has lost its elasticity. Does anybody know where to get more elastic cord and metal hardware to connect the ends?

This is a rather mundane topic for my first post, but important to me nonetheless.

It seems all of my shock mount elastics have very short shelf lives before they become too stretched out (elastic) or disintegrate (rubber). So far RODE and Shure are my main culprits.
