Get to Milwaukee Wisconsin and tour Bob Paquette's microphone museum. 
It's amazing

I have been there and Bob gave me a tour, personally. A very 
knowledgeable guy. I am sure he would be glad to answer any questions 
you may have. Much if the equipment is operational. At least, I hope he 
is in good health yet. I was there a few years ago and he was getting on 
in years.
