I need to solder some of the wires in order to fix my flagg's microphone. I have never soldered before, any suggestions or tips? Has anyone had to do this before?

^ Good tip!
Practice makes perfect. Try it out on some scrap wire before you give it a go on your mic. If you are a complete n00b, see if there are any tutorials on YouTube to get you started.

Use a small tip, and a medium to high heat setting. I usually solder at around 550-600 degrees. You should be able to find everything you want at Radio Shack. Make sure you clean everything very good. I would pick up some Isopropyl alcohol and scrub everything. Most of the time spent soldering should be on your prep work cleaning and cleaning some more. Get your self some paste type flux it will help the solder to stick to the wires and is less messy then liquid flux. As it was mentioned before there are good videos on youtube on how to solder. Experiment before doing the big job.
