Is there something special about the Galaxy that requires balanced finals? I
am using a Drake L-4B with a pair of Chinese 3-400ZG tubes. There is no
mention in the L-4B manual about replacing the finals with only a matched
set, and several other users of this amplifier have told me the same thing.

Keeping balanced tubes in it will be a challenge.

I paid $300 for a near mint SB 200& would not look for anything less
that that

Does anyone know anything about these? I can't seem to turn much up on
Google
about these. I am not sure I was going to bid on it, since it's already at
$280
with 5 days left.

I am no authority, but when I had a similiar linear that used 6lQ6's
the tubes cherry plated and took a beating if they were not matched.
Perhaps the Galaxy does not use sweep tubes?
