| The Incomparable Ferrograph brochure |
Here is an old Ferrograph brochure whoch arrived with a Reslo ribbon microphone. Built like tanks, Ferrograph made arguably the best reel to reel tap recorders through the 50s and 60s, and it seems that they had a formal agreement with Reslosound as the two names often appear together in catalogs. The final page of the document shows the Reslo RB microphone, along with accessories including matching transformers and stands.
The Reslo microphone sold for 11 Guineas at the time of publishing. (1 Guinea = one pound and one shilling. Only the British could come up with such a bizarre coin!)
Hah, the amplifier section on that the recorder is what's being sold as "classic tube preamp" on eBay all the time now... like this one:

Yup, that's it. There are a lot of them about!
