I'm trying to work out how to produce a high hat sound like on those 70's marley records. Has anyone got some insider info?

What I've tried so far:
Different pencil condensers from cheapo to schoeps. The c451b seems to work best so far. Into an vt737, strong filtering in the lows, a bit of a boost in the highs. In pro tools some reel tape sat plus some analogue ch plus some gml eq. Tried the waves Helios emulation, but it didn't work for me.

I feel I'm getting close. 95% there. But I just can't get the last 5%...

Has anyone got any tips?

Thanks,

J.
