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.

What would ten 6LB6's cost when this unit needs to be retubed?

Something to consider!

I just wanted to know a little history about it. He is selling it with a second
set of tubes. But I am glad you told me anyway. Seems to have gotten alot of
lookups and is on its way to being out of my price range.

Finicky, expensive tubes.

World Radio Labs / Galaxy of Council Bluffs, IA (later purchased by HyGain
in Lincoln, NE) existed until the late-1970s.

Since this unit uses ten (10) - 6LB6 sweep tubes it is not a practical
amplifier -- since these TV sweep tubes are no longer produced. Might be a
nice project to convert it to a couple of Russian triodes. I would sell the
tubes for the $$

Poor amp, runs about a dozen old TV sweep tubes with all the problems that come
with them! It was a joke when first built, and hasn't improved with age. You
can get a nice Heath SB200, SB220 or SB230 for equal or less money.

Some CBer will likely get this rag and hopefully blow it up first key-down.

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

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.

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?
