[BC] Sta-Level

[Rockwell Smith]

The Sta-Level had a quality missing in many more modern devices --
HEADROOM!!  Not too many years ago I would have given almost anything for a
Sta-Level.  I took multiple sat feeds on a talk AM and some of them were 10
- 12 db differrent in level.  No single "state-of-the-art" box was as
effective as a sta-level would have been.  A Sta-Level with set for slow
recovery sounds just as good compressing 15 db as it does 3 db.  I've use
them before and I'd use them again in certain applications.

I'll pay the shipping if you want to get of any of those "sad-but-fixable"
units.
