I really don’t know. I sort of doubt… all the pics of it I’ve seen… I think the original foil was polyester. Forgive me if I’m wrong. Was explained to me also that back then it could only be done one sided. Ie all the copper traces one side. Hence the labyrinthine paths of the circuit. Greg’s new foil has traces both sides.
