Repair , possible?

I have numerous at-803s with buzzing when connected
Possible internal wire broken/damaged? Can you refurbish these or am I better off buying new mics?

Answer: 
Thank you for your inquiry. If the Sony Handycam has a 3.5mm mic input it would work with the proper cable. I looked at the manual for the camera and could find no reference to an external microphone input.
