Are those original Apeks parts?

[brtlmj]

I found those in my TX100s. Are those original Apeks diaphragms and if so, is this how they should look like? Note how the center discs are curled.

Thanks!

Original should be Apeks part: AP2023
And they should be flat.

It looks like they might have gotten warped from excessive heat.
I would replace those.

probably stock, I have seen them bend like that before. Some mfg's use a metal disk instead of plastic for that reason, but it's usually a non-issue

put them in hot water then place them flat with something on top until cooled

Hot water helped. Still, I'll replace them when I have a chance. The interesting part is that, according to Google Images, Apeks AP2023 looks different - the top should be hexagonal.

Thanks everyone!

could have been an internal revision without changing the part number. I've seen NOS apeks diaphragms that look just like that, as are the ones that came stock on the TX40's at school

Diaphragm material and strike plate was changed in 2006. Change them out
