Building my point to point BA-6A with original TX etc.

The fourth and fifth positions give you a very basic choice of timing, single release or double. They were designed for the music played on the radio at the time, not how we record music with a compressor today 70 years later.

Single and Double are both useful concepts in a tube comp, but changing the timings or making them variable is separate from this switch.

I've been away with work so it's been a little while since I've updated this thread. Here's the BA-6A as it stands at the moment:

I've sorted out the meter scale as well as made a bracket to attach the meter to the unit -

You can sort of see the bracket in this shot -

Here's the guts. I've added a fair bit more since the last photo. In fact, I think I'm almost done with the amp section, I just need to do the sidechain and the meter circuit.

@letterbeacon don't keep us hanging, I am having wet dreams with this build !
