Has any company made this as a reproduction part? I would guess no, but I figured it was worth asking.

Is that material torn inside around the capsule, thin wire mesh?

Is the sponge looking material, and I guess same as what originally goes around VF14, the material that vendors usually call “orange open rubber”? ( https://therubbercompany.com/sponge-foam/natural-rubber-sponge-sheeting/orange-open-cell-sponge-sheet )

Is the plastic holding the capsule likely plexiglass?

Thank you Klaus!

Interesting coincidence that Beyer used a headbasket with similar shape for their first condenser.
