K47 finally arrived...but

fsalter · Dec 2, 2017

Si i guess that " curiosity killed the cat". Why did i expect anything else? After waiting 5 weeks for this capsule from AliExpress, i get this creased membrane. It's from a company called "Ideamedia". And being single sided, it's not like i can use the other side!

At the very least, hopefully it didn't cost you too much...

You might be able to fix that middle crease by loosening the middle screw, letting the diapghragm reset, and then re-tightening.

Careful you don't slip!

strange K47

, the drilling looks like K87 or K67

True, I don't think this is a K47 capsule!
(The backplate pattern doesn't suggest this.)
Also: the wrinkles are all over the membrane, so I doubt if loosening and retightening will solve the problem...

True... i ordered a K47, but i guess this is more like a K67..so pre-emphasized. Anyways...will follow Banzai's advice to fix tension problem. If not, it was only 40$. Thank you.

I never had problem with refunds there. Just ask for it.

Yeap, they should refund or send you new capsule.
Anyway, worth to try repair it
