TELEFUNKEN ELA M 251 W/ VINTAGE AKG CK-12 BRASS CAPSULE $7,995
EBAY SELLER AUCTION DESCRIPTION
"Alas the day has come that I hoped would never come but it did.
I am getting out of the music recording business due to lack of business and other unrelated financial hardships. Already gone is my vintage 1073, V76s, Urei compressors and last but not least
my prized possession, my Telefunken Ela M 251 microphone. This is a reissue from back when they were called Telefunken USA. This mic has an interesting history, it started out as a Ela m 250
but after I had some more cash had Telefunken upgrade it to a 3 pattern 251. Back when I was in my gear jonesing phase I was acquiring all the top vintage pieces I could find. Through luck and
scouring through some old emails from Ebay I was able to track down a guy in Eastern Europe I previously contacted that had a few vintage AKG CK-12 capsules for sale. I took a chance, sent off a bank wire
and was happy to see 3 of these capsules show up about 6 weeks later. I sent the capsules to Telefunken and had them select the best sounding one which ended up in this mic. Toni said that according
to the serial numbers that this particular capsule came from an original 251. This capsule has the original skin and the capsule halves have never been separated. The guys at Telefunken also said that
this is one of the best sounding original CK-12 capsules they have heard. If you remember some years back Telefunken did acquire 50 of these capsules and released a limited number of mics
designated the 251 V for vintage. If memory serves me correctly I think these were going for 11-12K when they were available. This mic is essentially the same minus the larger power supply and fancy case
which is no big deal because we all know that 90% of the mic's sound comes from the capsule and this one sounds amazing! You can hear this mic on the vocal and acoustic guitar tracks at chadhagerman.com
and on the upcoming release by my band Dead Legend. Vocals and acoustic guitars were tracked with this mic. This mic has the 6072A tube. CK-12 Capsule serial numbers are 2517/2211 the diaphragm is original and the capsule halves have not been separated and is in excellent working condition.
This mic will blow away any new 251 hands down, unless it is one of the 50 251V's floating around out there."

Im selling my original telefunken elam 251 e serial number 1069 with mild restoration.
Mic looks and sounds awesome. All electronic components are original inside the mic w the exeption of two caps(the silver ones) stephen paul audio decided to change out while servicing the mic recently, as well as a fresh 6072 tube. The ck12 is a original elam 251 ck12 that is in excellent condition and in my opinion sounds awesome that came from another one of my 251's. The body tube is a original telefunken elam 251 brass body tube that telefunken elektroakustik repainted with there original specs restoration paint. I replaced one piece of plastic inside the mic which you can see in the photos with telefunken elektroakustik ; its one of the two circular pieces that goes around the amp board etc. the amp board and plastic as well as all the electronics are original to the mic, minus the two things i disclosed above(cap and fresh 6072 tube). The capsule assembly pattern selector housing is telefunken elektroakustik reproduction parts, as its made to factory specs and is basically identical to the original minus the aging plastic and old switches; they really nailed the 251 restoration replacement parts as confirmed by every mic tech i know. The grill housing is also telefunken elektroakustik.
The power supply cover and base are original but decided to go with telefunkens psu inside, but put the old cover and base on it cause it looked cool; ill include there cover and base as well.. The swivel cable as well and mic box are telefunken elektroakustic. To summarize...all the accessories are from telefunken elektro; psu, mic cable and mic box, but i swapped out the original psu housing and base. "
