Sure did. I think they were made for Tandy by Crown - they
looked very similar, anyway. Crown still make PZMs, but they're
rather expensive.
Why don't you make your own PZM? It's only an omni mic held very
close to an air/solid boundary surface. Some plastic foam and a
bit of Gaffa tape would probably make one stuck to a handy
surface like a table mat.
What are you going to use it for?

Just don't expect them to do what you think they will.

Emperor minus apparel?
I've hung them permanently on the back wall of a conference hall as
spaced omnis, for FOH monitoring (remote mix point), and I believe you
can put them on the floor under a grand piano (never tried - usually use
fig-of-8 if available). I know the Shure automatic mixing system used to
use them (very open sound), but otherwise I've never found a practical
use for them.
I once tried them as standby mics on a news set, but the only
decent-sounding position was on the edge of the desk (sort of
bellybutton mics), which was useless for script rustle, etc.
They must have some purpose, as several manufacturers make them, but
what is it?
Regards,
Simonm.

The only application that I can think of where I've seen them
regularly used is (on television, thankfully) in police interview
rooms connected to their PACE tape recorders. I suppose if they're
superglued to the wall reasonably high up it stops them being covered
or shielded if anything "dubious" is happening...

On The Bill, for one. And they were practical once - the very Crown Tandy
ones. And sounded rubbish...

For that particular application, they do work quite well.
