I'm looking at a radio called a super galaxy. When were these made? Are they an export raido? Any opinions on them and what's their value?

Wow.....
The "Super Galaxy" is and was a genuine galaxy product as well as the galaxy 2100, both from early 80's. Either Ray didn't work there then or has the CRS disease...
They were the predecessor to the typical galaxies of today (3600-14 board) and I never really liked them, but at the time it was that, the Jackson/Grant, or AR3300 if you wanted an export (among a few others).
The best sounding exports today bar none are the Delta Force and Maverick A24. You can buy those new for $200-230 plus tune and ship. Beware and careful of the "tuners" that are out there.

OK, for the eightieth time I'm going to post FAQ number 8, straight from the Ranger Website FAQ located at www.rangerusa.com/faq.html
"8. Do you service Galaxy, RG-99, etc. radios?
We receive calls regarding other radios including the Galaxy, Galaxy DX, RG-XX line, General, and Connex for parts and service. To help unravel any confusion: yes, Ranger manufactures the radios for these companies, but under a strict private label agreement, often times at a different factory. However, under that agreement, we (RCI - Ranger USA) do not sell, warranty, service or handle parts, for those products and are not affiliated with them in any other way. The respective companies maintain and service their own products."
In summary:
The Super Galaxy did exist.
The Super Galaxy was a 'real' Galaxy.
The Super Galaxy was manufactured by Ranger.
In comparison:
The Galaxy 99v does exist.
The Galaxy 99v is a 'real' Galaxy.
The Galaxy 99v is manufactured by Ranger.
Enjoy,
'Fuzz

Do what?
Galaxy's have NOT ALWAYS had a DX in the name of the radios.
RECENTLY manufactured Galaxys do indeed have a DX in their designator, but older models may not. Just because the older radios are no loger sold or suppported directly by Galaxy doesn't mean they were not manufactured by Galaxy (or Ranger, for that matter.)
This DX designator on Galaxy Radios is a relatively recent thing to try to legitimitize the Galaxy Radio market in the US, and in particularly with the 'almost legal' DX949 and DX959.
Check YOUR facts, or at least enlighten us as to the source of your information.
Thanks,
Fuzz.

Just because a radio is discontinued does not make it no longer an authentic Galaxy.The pluto is not in your list and it is most certainly a Galaxy.Just because it doesnt have DX in the name doesnt mean it isnt a Galaxy.Galaxy had many models before it came out with the DX models.The list you provide are the current models but is not a list of all Galaxy mobiles produced over the years.73s Rog

Again from the Galaxy website:
"Ranger manufactures the radios for these companies, but under a strict private label agreement, often times at a different factory. However, under that agreement, we (RCI - Ranger USA) do not sell, warranty, service or handle parts, for those products and are not affiliated with them in any other way. The respective companies maintain and service their own products"
They have made them in the past in factories in Taiwain and (Mainland) China and they were indeed imported, but they are certainly Galaxy Radios.
The fact that Galaxy has a semi bona-fide american distribution and repair system "now" and only "supports" the DX line doesn't change the fact that the older Galaxy's were, indeed, Genuine Galaxy radios. The fact that the older ones were all knock-offs (e.g. stolen design) of the Uniden dual-conversion (on AM) chassis does not change the fact they are Galaxy Radios.
The fact that they were (and still are) popped out overseas as fast as rabbits multiply does not change the fact that they are Galaxy radios.
The fact that the current 'Galaxy' management and any industry insiders say otherwise does not change the fact that they are genuine 'Galaxy Radios'.

what does it matter, i mean come on!!!! If it talks good and last, and it makes the person happy, who cares if it is made by Hy-Gain, i understand everybody is trying to get to the point, but he just wanted to know if it was a good radio, and i have had one it it talked good, but not the best i ever had!

Since you're so good at calling folks, call Jimmy P. and ask him. Stam-com <sp> was early Texas Star made by the same people that later made "Texas Star", doesn't mean they aren't "real Texas Stars". GMC is a General Motors product as well as Chevy and Buick. 2100s, Super Galaxies, they all came from the same source or inspiration.

"They were not made for the company we call Galaxy today. Nor did they import them."
Duh, Norbert. That is not the point. And that does not change the fact that the older Galaxy's are, ineed, Genuine Galaxy Radios.
Even if they (Galaxy of 'today') did not import them under their (Galaxy) current organization, the OIder Galaxy radios are still Galaxy's. Just because the older ones were pretty much illegally brought into the country because of lack-o-type acceptance by the FCC by whomever, that does not change the fact that the older ones are Genuine Galaxy Radios.
Get it?

Ok, lets not get in a tizzy over all of this.
The one thing that no one has mentioned yet is that they are all made at the same place.
A man named Mr. Ping makes all of the radios, and puts different names on all of them.
I had a 2100, Galaxy II as well as a Super Galaxy. They were all made by Mr Ping, just as the Galaxy's of today are.
Now lets keep it civil in here, ok?
ButtFuzz, remember, you are the moderator of this section, so lets keep things in order in here ok? I would have emailed you or PM'd you, but you have both disabled in your profile.
Thanks
