I agree with Jörn, doing this in analogue, today, for anything else than enacting a zen koan to enlighten apprentices, seems decidedly weird... but that's part of the point about art, right? If you really, really want to do analogue Ambisonic stuff, I suggest you look at the two (hand written!) reports on Ambisonic technology Michael Gerzon wrote for the NRDC. I've put them in my Dropbox folder...
