I bought a Galaxy 2000 when I first got my general ticket. It sat
gathering dust on the consignment shelf at the old Amateur Radio Supply in
Seattle and no wanted it so I made a low ball offer and got it. It actually
worked great and burned out the resistor in my Heath Cantenna. After the
factory tubes went soft I bought a set of ten (sweep tubes were still cheap
then) from the local RCA distributor but it never worked right again. Some
tubes would run bright red, others no color. I think WRL was gone by then
but I didn't know about matched tubes anyway. I wish I had it now. It would
just look nice sitting on the shelf.

Nope, it was the Galaxy 2000 from Leo's fertile mind
