Bought this microphone from a gentleman in Australia for cheap last year and had it restored in a few weeks by a UK-based ribbon microphones specialist, XAudia, who changed the poor-quality, low gain inner transformer with an higher gain (+6db) bespoke miniature transformer.
The result is no less than awesome: superb clarity, silky, extended highs and natural dynamics.
A true wolf in sheep skin.
