    Serious old Galaxy radio repair recommendation.

    Grrrr. This site won't let me paste from another tab on my phone. Just search photobucket mochunk on google and look at the galaxy88 album. You can see the mess inside this thing.

    Serious old Galaxy radio repair recommendation.

    I took every possible screw out and checked every board and connection. Visually at least. Nothing noticably damaged or broken. As far as out of place traces or solders, I couldn't begin to tell. There are so many mods and rewirings in this thing of varying quality that I don't know what's a...

    Serious old Galaxy radio repair recommendation.

    I have an old Mirage 88 in need of some serious repair. It was a great radio back in the day. Already all tuned and modded, clarifier and all... But at one point it took a nasty hit to the chassis and no longer has any TX or RX. Powers up but dead in the water. Freq counter also reads one...
