Electromatic Pickups

Does anyone know anything about the pickups in the Grestch Electromatic double Jet? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guita...lectric-guitar
It says that they are "Black Top" Filter'Tron ™ Pickups. What does this mean? Are they similar to TV Jones Classics, or are they mini humbuckers like in the older ones?

I hear they're supposed to be replicas of 1970's Baldwin era Filtertrons. They supposedly have ceramic magnets. I have a Pro Jet with these pickups and they compare favorably to the OV's in my Tele, only they're fuller and sound a bit better with some dirt.
