My new G250Vs and ramblings

Probably won’t happen with all of the NLA parts or double priced parts, but I can dream.

Sadly, I think it is only a dream now. Crying shame.

I was hoping someone here had checked to see if the blue Halcyon diaphragms would work from their 250v clones.

They'll work alright but Halcyon ones are no longer blue.

Too bad.

Too bad.

Indeed.

I guess I will just have to settle for a blue diaphragm g250 with a g250v cover and purge button.

Do you have this already? Sometimes G250V face plates center, often they do not on a G250. If you play around with different thickness frictions rings, as long as not too far off to begin with, you can get lucky.

I tried on about 8 G250s, only 2 were "ok".

The one that free flows is the crescent towards the diaphragm?

Just checked, toward mouth piece, which is as they are "supposed" to be positioned.

For rental gear as rsingler pointed out. To make it less likely to free flow. I would try flipping it around and try again. I’ll flip my eBay 250 toward the diaphragm to see if it will free flow and report back.
