Well, starting on this Japanese version of the Galaxy DX -88HL. It's called Osaka by Japan and looks identical to the 88HL.
Evaluation:
1. All the caps look dried up with goo at the bottoms or seeping out the tops badly.
2. All controls and switches scratchy, needs cleaner.
3. Meter stuck.
4. All limiters have been removed, but why? Good grief, lol...
5. Driver bias cranked wide open.
6. First final bias turned all the way down.
7. Last final bias cranked wide open.
8. AM power VR cranked wide open (was keying 18w).
9. Needs alignment badly.
After I get the above straightened out, I will give an update.
