Question can anyone confirm or enlighten ,my tertary winding measures 12 ohms on my multimeter does tha sound right ?
Well if it measures 12 ohms its not open - so that's good. I found both of my BV12 had at an open winding. The windings that were not open did have the right ratio (Actually ratio should be P/S 6.92:1, P/T 21.6:1.) Both bobbins can be measured separately.

Best way to test your bv12 is to connect a test tone at the primary, measure the voltage at the secondary & tertiary and calculate the ratios.
My opinion is there is definitely something off about the Bv12 but I am going to try to get it working, as it fits the PCB footprint. Even with correct coils that are not open (probably from poor winding), they have a lower thickness of laminations (less than 7.1mm) If I were starting a new build, I would go with Moby's for sure.
 
To start with, I never measured a microphone capsule that had a high frequency boost of 9 dB...
How do you measure microphone capsules? What high frequency boost have you measured in k67 capsules?
A measurement on a U67 microphone through the 'messeingang' shows -5 dB @ 15 KHz.
The messeingang is the calibration input, described in the '63 manual. Why do you think the measurement (always) shows -5dB @ 15 kHz?

I have measured many K67/K87 capsules in a 'flat' circuit. Usually the HF boost was in the region of 5 dB.
The 'messeingang' measures the complete (de-emphasis) circuit, with the microphone capsule in place.
