Neumann mics used by Link Wray

Does anybody know which mics Link Wray used to record his tracks at Swan's chicken coop?

...here's a quote from, and link to a piece. I saw one photo somewhere where he was using a 47 in the Shack.

Then you had the magic touch of Ray himself. "He was a fantastic engineer," said Link. "He knew exactly what I wanted." Part of the Shack's mystique lay in the equipment. "Ray was pretty smart," said Richie Mitchell. "He had very good mics, the old Neumann mics. Ray would go to Nashville, pick ‘em up for fifty bucks." They'd record on an Ampex three-track machine ("I don't think Ray ever paid for it," cracked Mitchell) and then blast what they'd just cut out of a couple of huge Altec Lansing Voice of the Theatre speakers. "When he'd play back the stuff, it would just about knock ya over," said Mitchell.

...picking up Neumanns for $50 bucks...and some people say there's no such thing as the 'good old days'...

Best,
