Thanks for the post. I believe it was actually a Globe Scout. The
Galaxy line came later.

Hi Alan
The pictures show it as a Galaxy Electronics, Scout Deluxe.
There was Similiar rig called the Galaxy Chief but this was not as
fancy & CW only!
The WRL Globe Scout was much earlier & a totally different design.
I've seen plenty-o-those but these Scout Deluxe are harder to find as
competition at this time from Hallicrafters(HT-40), Johnson Challeger,
Heathkit DX-40, even Lafalotte radio was intense as many novices can
on board!

OOPS, Sorry Alan;

Rich,

My first rig was a Globe Scout 680A. The one in the picture is
certainly fancier!

BTW, I attended the Palm Desert QCWA meeting in January where they
presented Leo with his certificate for 80 years as a ham. His age is
something like 97. (It was certificate #34, so hams seem to have good
longevity.) Anyway, Leo is still sharp as a tack, though his hearing
is poor. Not so bad that he doesn't still get on the air a bit!
