    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    OK Al.

    Perhaps, with a little thought and ingenuity, the ribbon diaphragms could be replicated or repaired. They are just aluminium foil. The thickness would need measuring. A means of corrugating them as per original should be possible. There are probably several ways to terminate them conductively.
