Hello. Having read quite a bit on Group DIY about the Federal 864. I thought that I would have a go at a point to point build attempting to stick to the original design as much as possible. So far so good. I have used a Hammond Chassis and had a front panel laser cut by a local company. I used some strip board to sub for the tag board and have kept the threshold and limiter controls on the back panel for the time being. Meter from Don Audio and knobs etc from all over the place. I am getting a power transformer next week and will be using Sowter for the ins and outs. Obviously the problem will be getting the release time sorted among other things but hopefully it won’t prove impossible to get it sounding useful. I don’t have a lot of time spare for posting but will have a go at letting you know how I get on....assuming anyone is interested.
