    Took a look at what it needs and with all the information it looks like this would work; http://bama.edebris.com/download/galaxy/ac400/ac400.pdf.
    The other option is this one; http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/galaxy/ac35/.

    Galaxy III: transceiver, 3 band: Ad: APR 64 QST; price
    $349.95 wired; 300 watts CW/SSB; 80 thru 20 meters; sensitivity
    0.5 uV at 10 dB signal to noise ratio; 6 pole 9.0 MHz crystal
    filter; selectivity 2.1 KHz at 6 dB, 3.8 KHz at 60 dB; carrier
    suppression exceeds 45 dB; unwanted sideband suppression exceeds
    55 dB, audio derived AGC free from pops and pumping over 40 dB
    range; drift less than 100 hertz in any 15 minute period after
    warm-up; less than 100 hertz change with 10 percent line voltage
    change; 5 kilohertz dial calibration with over 8 inches of
    circular scale length; two speed tuning (72:1 and 12:1), 6CK6
    driver; pair 6GH5 finals; weight 13 lbs; power supply
    requirements, 800 VDC @ 400 mA, 340 VDC @ 200 mA, -100 VDC @ 35
    mA, 12 VDC @ 1 A, and 12 VAC/DC @ 5 A.

    Some of the older Heahkit HP-23 series may be usable as well.

    Hope this helps

    A Heath HP-23 series power supply should work fine with this unit. You would have to add circuitry to the 12.6 VAC "filament" winding to get the 12 VDC required for the relay switching. However, this is not hard to do.
