Yes, but nice nickel laminations was used everywhere. This

And to DIY ribbon transformer is not impossible.

Thanks for that.

The mic design looks very close to the reslos - with the horse-shoe magnets around the back.

If you're a windows user you should have Wordpad which can open word files. Some other applications can read word files as well. Open Office should be able to do it.
