I guess I’m confused. If you buy that radio from a place that does good tech work shouldn’t it be ready to talk right out of the box? Or even at that that it should come aligned pretty good from the factory. If the conversion is a simple button push then you can do that yourself and again it’s...
At best you might get a simple one page print out of basic instructions. There are no user manuals for any of these 11m amplifier and related products for obvious reasons. Best bet is do what was suggested above.
On line shopping has gotten to be pretty easy.

Yea as I remember from many many years ago the 73v was kinda an oddball radio. Not sure if it was recognized as a legit Galaxy radio or if it’s more like a Mirrage off shoot.
I recently tested a local guys 503hd amp. When he ran it worked great on AM but on SSB it was real bad. So my setup was Astron 70m, IMAX 2000, and my Omega Force s45. Started out at 14 watts pep drive and sounded great but only 100 ish watts. I ended up at25 watts pep and that drove the amp to...
You might check with TheRealPorkchop, he is a member here and bought 100 of them years ago. Might still have some. You can read here and just PM him.

Yea Greg I refuse to really buy anything on E-Bay these days, prices are crazy. I can’t see wanting the same from forum members here either. Just bought an FT-991a so I’m going to part with some extra items I have.
Up for sale are two Texas Star 250 Amplifiers.
1) Texas Star 250 staged power. Works as it should, all lights work including the meter. The cover shows some signs of wear but the amp is very clean. Has the original Toshiba 2290 finals. $180 shipped, Paypal is fine.
2) Texas Star 250 HDV...
Maybe someone did their "super good" receive mod on it. AKA cranked shit up and now the white noise is even louder. The alignment procedures should be here in the service manual section. Tough to find someone that can do this these days.

Unfortunately on SSB Galaxy radio's are known for drifting like a sailboat. On a base or in a warm climate they do settle down the longer the radio is on. In winter weather areas you will chase your clarifier like a dog chasing his tail.
That said I think you just need to get the hang of a dual...
I would contact Carl at Carl Built Amps. Since he built it new just have him fix it. The older amplifiers are so much better. Not a big fan of 1x4 or 2x4 amplifiers. You probably don’t even need the 100 as a driver to be honest.
