one leg or ground is missing on the cable? They were each approximately
25metres.

Seem to remember a one legged cable just results in a low output from a
451. Which may well give hum if you increase the gain for a distant mic.
Do you not have a 'bright eyes' phantom tester? Basically two leds built
into an XLR. If not contact me - I'm sure I've got a spare.

If you lose the screen you'll get no audio at all, IIRC.
