Vintage Radio Gear

Post by Tudorp »

I was just given this monster last week. I know nothing about these. I always used Futaba, or Acoms, but this seems like it might have been a quality unit back in the day. It is in great condition, and complete. Might use it for my old Wild Willy. Anyone know anything about these?

yeah, they look like a pretty good unit. I might use it for my 80's Wild Willy.

Have you actually tested that thing as working yet?

Age & moisture ain't kind to electronics, especially trimpots (wheel & trigger) and capacitors.

Also one annoying particular about Hitec... not sure how far back this started but their servo splines are different to Futaba, Acoms etc. T kits today still don't support the Hitec splines afaik.
