Lead vocal was a Telfukken ELAM 251 (the studio had 6 of them and 8 original C12s) through a Hardy M1 mic pre (John Hardy's prototype with a handwound powertransformer, still got it)
Actually, it is the shield around the power transformer that was handwound, or handmade (by me). The power transformer itself was from a small original production batch of 10, or 25, or something. But, as you know, your M-1 is about as close to unit #1 as you can get. It dates back to 1987. Great to know it is still doing its job. Thanks.
