Looks like Langomes is unresponsive. I can’t help noticing the similarity when I put a Urei BL-40 schematic next to it. The “Peak Program Amplifier” which legend says is 1176-ish (sorta I have 2 units here). It’s just the sidechain, in the Urei’s case that’s a dual opamp and a couple NPNs, some passives.

Anyone have suggestions for a stereo compressor / limiter circuit that might suitable? Because it also has impossible to find concentric pots that need replacing I was going to make a new front panel in any case.
