The diodes are connected in a back to back configuration to act as a voltage clamp for the mic input. Any silicon diodes will work, i.e., 1N4148. 1N400x, etc.  The artwork legend shows zener diodes but in that configuration zeners aren’t necessary. It could be built using a perfboard. The circuit is so simple a board really isn’t needed.

I initially tested on a perfboard and it worked but to keep noise down I found putting on a small pcb worked best. Case was to hold it all together and keeps the coil stable.
