Anyone take a good look at the back of Galaxy DX959 it looks as if you can add a second transistor for higher output?

You can, you just need the final and support components to go with it. Google is your friend in this case :-)

it's the same board as in those galaxy exports, lots of empty holes in the 'legal' version!

I'm not sure, but I thought I posted somewhere on here how to do that. Or maybe I just told how I did mine, I'm getting old so I'm getting crazy & forgetful.

The easiest way to do it and the way I did mine was get yourself a schematic for a 77 or 99 or about any other Galaxy with dual finals. There most likely is info on the net, but I did mine without that and only with the help of the schematic. As a matter of fact, if you follow the "internets" make sure you use the schematic to make SURE you don't switch it on and actually watch it blow the smoke.

Truthfully it isn't worth it from a power gained point of view. Audio does increase, and I added an old style echo board straight out of a DX44. It must have sounded good and had good swing to it, cause about 30 or so minutes on the air with it...it was sold.
