i've got a ton of 451 caps around, but i could use some more bodies.
i'd be interested in any of the XLR models.
please email godcity at aol
thanks

I got one with a CK2 cap on it. What are the bodies alone going for
these days?
If you bought that....anyone looking for a CK1 omni cap? I guess I
could keep the cap as I have other 451's.

i don't know what they go for. i've only seen one body-only come along
and i bought it. i can't remember what i paid. i think it was in the
$125-$175 neighborhood. what do you think?

I'd do $175 for the body. I really hadn't thought of selling it w/o
the cap, but I really wanted to keep the cap, so let's do it. Ping me
with your info and I'll figure out shipping which I can't imagine would
be more than $10 as long as you're in the US48.

Also on ebay with great feedback (lehabs) as well as a few dealings
with guys here, tapeop & gearslutz.

Why not try try the BLUE bodies that retrofit the 451 tops?

That's easily fair.

I apologise as I just thoughtlessly kneejerked the (totally guessed)
assumption that what worked one way would work the other, that you could
slap a 451-series caps on a BLUE body... You should Not listen to me but
should ask BLUE about that!

I think you can, but I think the only BLUE mike that I can think of offhand
to do this with is the original Bottle, which costs a lot more than a 451.
