[Boatanchors] WRL Galaxy V power supply needed

[Jim Wilhite]

The problem is that the power supplies come on the market when no one wants 
them.  I had one about 4 years back and no one took it until a guy in Texas 
thought he could make it work on another brand of transceiver.

Turns out it would not work and, last I know, he still had it, but that was 
a long time ago and he is not a member of this list.  I took the time to 
change the capacitors and check it out and sold it for 25 dollars plus 
shipping.

Strange thing those Galaxy power supplies are.  The power supplies of the 
time will work, but they don't have the HV necessary to really run Galaxy 
equipment to full output and maybe not the 6 and 12 volt outputs.

I have been trying to  find  one also but  seems to be   more  Galaxys
than   supplies as  some of   then  would  bought  new and used mobile 
their
whole life...
I have hear the heath kit mobile Power supplies   can be  made/or  adapted
to power  these Galaxys.

I leaped  before I looked and am now the proud owner of a Galaxy V with a
boatload  of tubes on the way. Here's the Homer Simpson moment: I don't
have a power  supply for it. Am hoping that someone out there in
Boatanchorlandia can  point me to an AC-35 or an equivalent supply (that
can be gently massaged)  to work with the Galaxy V. Any help would be
appreciated.  Thanks,
