    Galaxy 6 issues

    Amplifier I assume? If you have any amplification out of the amp, the transistors are working. There is something else going on inside, and I'd suspect that It most likely happened when the transistors were changed.

    Cobra 29ltd classic mystery switch

    Well VR6 (the mangled potentiometer) is for the antenna warning light. I have no clue what is going on there.

    SWR Meter Placement For Tuning With Amplifier

    I always strive to get it as low as I can, but if you reach an impasse and it bottoms out, you can always get a good antenna tuner to keep the amp happy. Those numbers are pretty good and won't hurt anything, but a tuner can get you a near perfect match and keep the box happy, run cooler, and...

    Vintage/classic stereo gear ?

    If you want to play multiple albums at a time, finding one of these is good, or at least repairable shape for a good price is the way to go. https://www.ebay.com/b/Dual-1219-Turntable/48649/bn_55188817 I grew up with one and remember it always sounding top notch.

    President HR2510 distorted RX audio

    I would think there is also the possibility that the speaker is just blown. These radios are getting on 30 years old and used paper cone speakers.

    Wilson 5K Magmount on metal table problems

    The proximity to the building is not helping. You are getting stray RF all over the place, and if you are sitting on the porch as well ,you are effecting the match. You would probably be better off trying to run a dipole along to top of the porch horizontally and see how that works for you...
