Picked up an AR-3500 and would like to find an original SP-1A. It was suggested to me that I might be able to use a CB Int’l speech compressor as an alternative. Suggestions and leads are greatly appreciated.

I know of a few places selling copies of the SP1a. Lou Franklins CB Int speech compressor is totally different animal. Sp1a contains a compander and CB Int is a series of opamp stages with a feedback loop setup like a clipper. I have both and choose he SP1a for how clean it sounds.
Lesscomm sells his copy for a 300% markup. I etched my own minus the relay.
I only mentioned that because @KneeBiter said he would part with one. I haven't one goings into the 797 and the other one for a possible future project. If kneebiter can part with 2 I would say buy them because they're hard to find. I paid more than I should have for the 2 I got but will hopefully be worth it.
Haha……. I didn’t even see Kneebiters response…….. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to be “dickish” back buddy ! All is good !
Thank you KneeBiter for the swift transaction. Item arrived as described today.
