Ever own a Galaxy transciever or one of the NCRs?

No but I did have a Hallicrafters SX-42 which was kind of an amazing
beast. My father bought it 1947 after ww2.

All my Dad's stuff was homebrew up until...

This was my first kit...

Up until I joined the service, I used the KWM-2 and my Dad's Collins
S-line - 32S-3, 75S-1, 62S-1 transverter, 312B-4/5 station consoles,
30L-1 linear plus the entire line of Heathkit Lunch Boxes. I still
have the S-line gear.

Post service, Swan 500C which was 'da bomb for the time. I also added
a Drake TR-4CW along the way.

After that, Kenwood Twins, Kenwood transcievers and eventually
settling on Yaesu.
