Shannon Is Bock still using that custom MBHO capsule? Yes it is a very nicely made capsule. FYI I am in the process of manufacturing my own version of a C12/251 capsule. They are very much like the OG capsules. Other than a few subtle changes to help enhance and capture OG classic sounds that we love from C12/251's , I hope to have them installed in the 251's that I am working on. As well ready to sell and shortly after that . That's really Not to far off. Keep ya posted

Hi Shannon, I am just about to start a DIY 251 build and was going to use a Chunger HT11a body, however if you are going to offer a body that more realistically resembles the original 251 I would be interested Pictures so far look great! Thanks, Matt

Is your thinking that the ami transformer is best for the 251 ?

So this is an add on base to look like a 251? You gonna offer the head basket too?

Looks great!
I think Shannon is implying he will be making the headbasket, body tube and base to fit the apex style body kits/rails (hopefully he can confirm), to make them look exactly like a original 251 and allow people with the apex/HT11a to upgrade to a more faithful recreation of the 251. Some of the DIY pcb kits are very tight inside the original apex/HT11a body tube so a slightly bigger body tube more like the original would be appreciated, along with a more faithful headbasket.
I would also be interested in your thoughts on the AMI T14 as that was the transformer I was looking at using.
Thanks for your time, its appreciated! Cheers, Matt
