FWIW UA had a video with a recording done with an original 610 console. Unfortunately the band was rather lame (sort of limpid easy listening fusion kinda crap) and the results sounded nothing like an old Capitol / United Western Studio 3 recording...
certainly 610 at UW, to my knowledge, not at Capitol. The early Melrose and Vine St. Studios were Langevin and Cinema Engineering.
Ribbons on vox went out shortly after WWII, once the German condenser mics started arriving. I'd bet SC was on something more like a U47 or ELA M251.
