I don't think that is back in the day. That looks like a recent modern rip off to me.
Looks like a Messenger. Built like a Gray.
Note the brown wire leading from the relay board to the antenna jack is wrapped around a bare wire from the center pin of the radio jack.
This was Billy D. Ward's idea. Meant to be negative feedback. Intended to prevent the amplifier from oscillating.
Doesn't work too well. A series pair resistor/capacitor from base to collector on each RF transistor will work. This bonehead trick mostly doesn't.

Yes. I thought it was similar to a messenger .
Theres tons of these around just none labled Texas Star. Thats the funny bit. Everyone even noobs know what a Texas Star looks like. Odd they went to the trouble to make a label calling it TS. I did see that weird wiring wasnt sure what was going on there. Thanks for enlightening me!
