I have contacted Chip. I gave him the basic details and pointed him to this board/ thread.
We'll see what happens...

Also remember the BIGGEST stumbling block is that everyone wants something different out of this.

Perhaps... it could also be that it takes time, and time is money.   The people who have the knowledge and skills to make this happen typically have other stuff going on.. And they can probably afford to buy the best actives on the market.  As someone else recently said, there are already "better" active mics available - Schoeps, DPA, and a couple other great mic lines.  I myself am more interested in working on MGs, but already have Schoeps actives; so the motivation isn't there.

And dealing with customers who want something Right Now, and who blow a gasket if someone is offline for a while... Who wants that bother?  What's their incentive to put a bunch of time into it?

Anyway, those are just some thoughts on the Why.

After reading parts 1-3 

I was just wondering what may be being worked on or who is working on what.

[1]. JK Labs type box and cables for ck6_ caps ?
[2]. active type cables for the ck6_ caps> active cables > bodies ?
...

Thanks for any current information/update.

Today while I was looking at spec sheets on AKG's website I came across part numbers for the 480's.  I was wondering if a person could order the pin connector and circuit board that it connects to, in order to get a connection point. (1.1, 1.6, 1.7 in the document attached)

Just a thought, not sure if you're able to order these parts from AKG service department alone, but I haven't seen it discussed in the 3 threads.

Jon?  JK Labs Jon?  I doubt you will get a response.

Last person working on this was Neil Sturtevant, "esteyes" but I don't think he frequents this board anymore.

I sent AKG service an email asking if the parts I listed in the above quote can be ordered and where to order from.  Or will those parts not work?

I got an email back from AKG about the parts from the document that I posted up, and they are all still current and available.

I further inquired about part number 2180M0501 (circuit board, complete), and it has the pin receiver connected to it.  It can be ordered from distributors located in the US.  I don't have a price on it (I'll have to inquire with the distributors) but I wanted to pass this along for others in case there are some ideas about how to secure this in the collete that some people had machined at various points in these 3 threads.

Thanks, yeah I know, but it seems to have gotten sidetracked and stalled a bit.

Has anyone come up with the hardware yet? (i.e. 'collettes' for the buffer circuit.)

I took pictures of my c460b's and ck61/ck63 caps with my Cannon 40D and will put them on flickr and post the link when its done.  Hope the pictures will help people garner some thoughts on solving some problems and getting this project moving again.

Edit:
Here's the link.
