The EV Century is, I think, the mic in the little brown Conn Strobotuner.
These are great, what’s really interesting the Amperite ad. The model numbers of the ribbon mics are very similar to the Reslo models and the PG Dynamic is practically identical to the Reslo.

I found an EV 650 in an old house. It still works too!
