Title: Is this a real Neumann capsule?
Post by: RuudNL on October 17, 2019, 06:34:13 AM

I found this capsule on ebay:

What I find a bit suspicious, is that the wires are white/transparent.
I have never seen a real Neumann capsule with wires like this, most of the time they are yellow.
What do you think?

I did a quick google image search and Peluso P-K67 capsules have white wiring.

Was alerted to the auction by a client earlier.
He asked me to purchase the capsule but is taking full responsibility if it does not turn out to be as authentic as it seems to looks to me (aside of the aftermarket lead-out wiring and the funky crust near the center).

I will report back once I have it in my hands.
