My galaxy DX 959 took a crap on me so I had to make a decision. Did I want to buy a nother 959 or get something different. I chose a galaxy DX 979 F. It is the same radio as the DX 959, except in a smaller package. I did the swing mod. I did the voltage regulator mod. This radio performs absolutely fantasticly.

See you added an echo board. You could put the adjustment knob out the back of the radio instead of hacking a hole in the top or bottom casings. I have an older DX 979 (non F) and like it. Not the loudest Galaxy I have modulation wise, but it does have SSB and a jack for a freq. counter.

Hope you get many years of service from it.
 
Once you do the am swing modification and the voltage regulator modification it brings audio out of these radios like you cannot possibly imagine.
I use these particular echo boards because they have a gain control on them. I use them more for the amplification than I do the echo sound. However, just a little tiny bit accents the audio without really changing it like echo would.
I set the controls where I wanted them and put them inside of the radio. I've then connected a toggle switch and put it in the back of the radio so I could turn the echo board off and use the radio on side band.
Those two modifications combined with the Trb-3 echo board make this an exceptional talking and sounding radio. I absolutely love it.
