Default How to stiffen a limp gooseneck?

Please describe mic fully dia, length, colour - I have made 1700 boom
mikes for gliding and if it is one of my early models I may be able to make
you a good offer and the early units used aluminium fill instead of the
better brass

Thanks all for the tips!
Looks like replacement is the ticket.

Our club flagship--a K21 has an aging problem. The gooseneck (for the
microphone) has gone limp. I have considered splints and ductape, but
that is cumbersome and unsightly. I am looking for rejuvenation if
possible.

Replacing it is possible, but it looks like some fine wire splicing will
be needed. Not impossible, but would prefer something simpler.

Any ideas out there?

TIA
