yeah I know, I was just clarifying it for Richard as he wants to use a battery box, no bodies.

The holy grail.

AKG ck4 Figure8 capsule, very few were made and i've never seen one.  It will fit with the reducing ring.

OK, thanks to Gumbino's pictures I see that the CK1 capsule has two connectors, one center, one "side", plus the shield/case.  So that would work with a battery box.  That is, if I had any of these capsules!!!  Anyway, I can envy those who do...

Offer up a trade ... ck63 for ck1 or ck3... you'd probably find someone willing to do it...

Richard you can often find CK-1, 2, and 3's on Ebay for much cheaper than the CK-61, 62, 63 series go for.

Yep, but good luck finding a CK3.  They're a tough ticket.  CK1's are everywhere though.

Pics of the ck2x innards and the mk46 innards.  The thread dimensions of the body are M19x0.75mm.  The mk46 uses a 3-pin lemosa, size 0 connector on the cap end.

There was a ck5 set with bodies on ebay a week or so ago.  I think someone grabbed them.

I used to have a web page bookmarked with all the caps and accessories lined out, but I re-imaged my machine and can't find where I saved the bookmarks.   ???  It was a pretty slick info page.

Excellent!  Wow, that's the innards all right!

2SK118 FET.  good to know.

The capsule looks crazy, some kind of ceramic part around it.

Note: Please be careful with the capsule, the pin coming out the back in particular.  Karl at AKG told me that electrets may lose charge if handled too much.  I don't know though.  I've got a question out on the forum asking this.

That's correct, Richard.  I bought these already non-functioning (i.e. the electrets had lost they charge).  I dismantled them to send pics to Tony Merrill (SP Audio).  He was going to try and get them up and running for me since AKG wouldn't.  But, I bugged Karl Peschel enough that he finally gave in just to get me to leave him alone me thinks.   ;D

Great pictures guys, thanks for posting these!  I doubt there is anything I can add that hasen't already been posted.

Richard I'm sure that you can use a battery box to power these.  I'm planning to build something soon.

I've been trying to find a CK4 for 2 years now and have come up empty handed.
