I have been busy. I thought this was worth sharing with the group that inspired me to do it. The three images on the left are what I have made, the three on the right are of an original AKG C12 I was trying copy. The AKG goes for around $15K and up. The copy I made from a piece of exhaust pipe, a left over drawer track, a brass plumbing plug, and about $150 worth of components including the capsule, grill, and the transformer. I am pretty chuffed with the result.
