Ela-M 251 Body from Aliexpress

[kingkorg]

This thing is serious business! Seems to have the original dimensions. Just took it out of the box, and had to share. The only "flaw" i find at first glance is unnecessarily heavy sleeve. Looks like brass. It seems to be built like a rock. I have large hands so it might look smaller than it really is.
It weights 800 grams!

Looks really nice! I wonder if you can easily install a Tuchel/Binder connector???

 

[Tim Campbell]

Wow! that looks cool

I'm still waiting for one with the (very specific) switch!

Ooo, I like the brass chassis. Do they have other bodies?

Take a look at the link i posted. They have quite interesting stuff, including bare M7 backplates, "Golden Drop" style k67...

Yes, they seem to match mine.

I got mine the other day and was surprised by the weight of it.

Looks like it might fit the Matador/Chunger 251 PCB?

Hi,
Is it a microphone?

It is a microphone body. You supply the capsule, circuit boards and everything else that will turn it into a working microphone.

Curious if Matador will fit in there someone play guinea pig and report back

Isn't it a Tbone SCT800 body with different headbasket?

the sct800 has a different base arrangement and a ridge just below the head basket. Very different.

Nice find @kingkorg
This is quite a bit shorter than a HT11a donor body (here the internal height = 125mm vs ~148mm in HT11a), so I would not be confident of chunger's C12 pub fitting in there with enough space for the transformer.
Looks like there is space diameter-wise to fit @Moby's chunky V2425 transformers though, so I might pick up a pair of these for building something around those.

Yeah, I was trying to measure my Chunger PCB and it was tough to try to accurately compare to the photos/measurements in the thread. Seems close-ish but not quite right.
