Bit of a nutty question but I've been looking at the price of the Oktava capsule and I have a few cheap SDC's banging around and am just wondering is the threading on the Oktava capsule standard in any way or could it be adapted to that of another mic's?

I'm just currently looking at the idea out of curiosity, seems like it could be a decent solution to upgrading my low end SDC's!

The cost to machine the adapters would make it cost prohibitive. IMHO.

The threads are probably just metric, but the diameter is a lot different than any of my other SDCs.
