Moog Vocoder

Does anyone know if the vocoder uses coils/inductors like the original fixed filter bank? I’m not sure if they were ever used in the vocoder but I am curious.

I saw a picture of the inside of a vintage Moog Vocoder and there are no coils/inductors inside.

The Norlin/Moog era Vocoder was in reality a cloned Bode Sound Co. Vocoder Model 7702.

All solid state components inside. No coils, no resonators, all integrated circuits and transistors. As seen here:
