🛠 Technical Condition & Maintenance Details

• Capsules: Both microphones retain their original, highly coveted CK12 brass-chambered capsules. They have been meticulously cleaned, tested for tension, and show perfect frequency response matching.
• Power Supplies & Cables: The auction includes two custom-built, modern, ultra-stabilized power supplies designed specifically for these circuits. They ensure rock-solid voltage tracking and a significantly lower noise floor than original vintage PSUs, without altering the microphones' sonic footprint. High-grade custom multi-pin cables are included.
• Restoration Philosophy: Every component replaced during the stabilization process (such as aging capacitors prone to leakage) was swapped for top-tier, period-accurate, or premium audiophile-grade equivalents. The goal was absolute preservation of the legendary C12 character while ensuring the reliability required for modern high-stakes tracking sessions.

⚠️ Important Note Regarding Photos & Inspections: Please note that I have never opened these microphones myself. To preserve their pristine museum-level condition and protect the delicate vintage internals, the bodies have only been opened by the professional master technician who built the new power supplies and performed the stabilization. Because of this, I do not have casual photos of the internal circuitry or capsules.

However, I welcome and encourage any professional inspections. All internal checks, capsule examinations, and testing can be fully conducted in person upon meeting. I am happy to facilitate a complete technical verification for serious buyers to ensure absolute peace of mind.
