I think everyone's just trying to help you out, and the first set of pics didn't show very much, so it's no surprise that some of the guesses didn't turn out to be correct.
The only reason I knew there were inductors in there was because I've been up close and personal with these things in the past. There just aren't that many of these things in the world, so people are drawing from their experience either with Flickinger stuff or other designs of that era. On top of that, there is no shortage of bad information floating around about Flickinger -- myths, falsehoods, embellishments, etc. The fact that Dan designed some of the best stuff of the era, then totally vanished, makes his legacy ripe for reinterpretation.

As far as I know, the only tube based design that Dan Flickinger ever put out was the 226 compressor.
(Golden Gate Studios in San Francisco has a PAIR of them!) It was basically a Fairchild-style vari-mu, but with an updated and more convenient set of controls. (Continuously variable attack & release, a link to control two units, etc.). As often happens in audio, Dan had a Fairchild of his own and thought of a few ways to improve it, so he did.

How do you define "typical" when there were only a handful of these made? Yours appears to have dead op-amps, with replacements jumpered in, and a third-party power supply with the wrong voltages. How typical can that be?
I'm sure there are die-hard Flickinger fans out there who might want these just to have them, but I couldn't begin to guess what they're actually worth.
