Yes, they screw out, BTW, inside the CK5 is a prime hiding place for
oxidation. Not that I'm complaining, I got my pair at a pawn shop for
$25 each. They were oxidized and didn't work without extreme
crackling. The owner though they were dying.They must have been used
for tom mikes because they had 20 db pads and the CK5's meshes were
very mangled

You don't have any real reason to complain, even my near perfect ones makes
crackling noises when they are not cleaned properly.... and the 20 dB pads
alone goes for up to around $50-100 a piece...! :-)
