Is the 251 body copyright-ed? I am sure it is, however if no one is selling them to make a profit it shouldn't matter. I want to get started on this prototype.

The transformer is an issue. Bock uses a massive Cinemag transformer There are quite a few transformers available for this circuit (Cinemag, AMI, Samar, modern Haufe, etc.). It's more a question of how close (to a vintage T14/1) is close enough for you

From what I've heard, Shannon has been able to zone in on true "251" goodness, using the MataChung C12 with AMI T14 as the foundation for his modification work...I'm hoping to get some soundfiles from an associate who is about to receive his (who also owns a Bock 251 for comparison)...I invited him to join the conversation, once he has the opportunity to put the mic thru it's paces...

I have had quite a many people as to use the boch 251 for a ref. so much that. I. Went to get ( try a brand new one ) to be 100% sure of its sound. It was And is a good 251 no doubt. I just to make sure where I stacking with a CV4-251. I will be curious like Kid to see what his friend thinks of that build, is a impressive one and lil sumbin sumbin new hella yea! note: remember those bodies and the pattern selectors have a cut away in the the tube. So we have agree on A common head basket and grill combo. I'll look for that tooling agian for the grill, before I make a Big Deal about nothing.

Brite and Norm. Supposedly, the norm is vintage and the Brite is modern. I liked both settings. It was so amazing on acoustic that you couldn't do anything to make it sound better. It sounds done after tracking raw. I haven't heard a better mic for guitar or vocals. If I had a pair of 251's I wouldn't want anymore! Let's get this ball rolling, however let's try and keep the price reasonable...ouch please...

I can get this thing built, just need something in the line of a print. I went and looked at a new lathe today. I guess I could make my own. Anyone have good pics? I guess I could measure the OD of the PCB and go from there, with my own size body.

Honestly, id build it spot on minus the switch or don't bother, you'll never sell any, there are already a ton of donors that aren't the right size. JMO

Back on topic...
As far as a diy clone, Danny ' s(poctop) or Matador/Chunger?
Anyone have experience with both... accuracy to sound with a good capsule.
