So I just finished my 251 diy ( Beesneez capusle , Beesneez body , Cinemag transformer , vintagemicpcb.com pcb and psu ) . The output es very low and I can't seem to figure out what went wrong .
I get :
B+ 110v
H+ 6.3v
Capsule
Front : 30v
Front Back Plate : -1 v
Rear Plate 30 v ( on omni and bi )
Rear Back Plate : .30 mv
Plate testing point : 57 V
Checked de wiring and everithing twice . I would apreciate any help with this issue .

Did you test your tube or try a different one ?

Yes I have . I don't know , I think I got a bas transformer . Cinemag 13114 .

How are you probing for voltage?
DMMs usually have only like 1M to 10M input impedance for voltage measurements, which would load down the HV circuit in a lot of mics that use 1G resistors as biasing, etc..
But I don't know what the voltages should be either. I'd have to look up the 251 circuit again.

Yes I have . I don't know , I think I got a bas transformer . Cinemag 13114 . Did you check the resistance/continuity across all the windings in the trannie? It;s usually pretty easy to tell if something's wrong - the only time I had trouble was on an OT in an old Bandmaster that had pinhole burns in one of the windings - It took high voltage for it to short. You shouldn't have that problem in a mic. |

Thanks guys , I think I found the issue . Two of the leads on the transformer were giving up very near de transformer itself . It replaced with a 13114 I had form a C12 build . It working fine now ![]()  |
