All I can say is I've had 2 come in to be rewound over the past few months, they're symmetrically wound coils of 42 AWG plain enamel wire-the pair I tested came in at DC8.9 and 9K, sat on a polished Alnico II magnet.
So...............nothing like a VHII at all,which has offset coils, DC9.2K and Alnico V.
I'm not going to comment on the tone as it'd be viewed as subjective.
