Gotcha, know anything about the DENTRON GLA-1000B? There's one here
for $285 plus shipping.

Don't know anything about it. The reason I had inquired about that
Galaxy, was because the solid state amps were in the neighborhood of
$1, 000-3,000. So when I inquired about the Galaxy, it was about $200.
It took off from there. Luckily, many hams came posted to stay away
from that amp. They said there were cheaper alternatives that were
better.

I think that Ameriton was a single tube radio. Highly recommended by
hams.

As far as the Dentron, I use this site on eham:

There are Hams indivdual reviews, and I find very useful.

Yea that's a good review sight I've read up on a few things on there
over the years. I'm not in the market, still have the 30 L1 that I
hardly use much anymore. I also have a kenrich 515 that I think is a
similar configuration to that galaxy you were speaking of. It's been
mothballed for years along with the browning mark IV, it has the veneer
on it to resemble the browning.

Yeah, alot of the hams really pushed me away from that Galaxy amp. And it
was a Ham amp, since it covered 10-80.

Check this out on the Browning:

Wonder how many guys are still servicing those radios? I know the IV has a
bad reputation compared to the III.
