Novak Polaris

Post by motoromo »

This Novak Polaris was in my box of stored RC stuff. I did find a few threads about it but not much of performance. I'm trying to use mostly vintage electronics for my RC10 graphite team runner restoration.

How good is this unit compared to period standard AM receivers?
Is it generally period correct?
Box says 1994 so it maaaay be to late.

That's a good unit, as good as any AM receiver. It's a narrow band AM and will also work with the slightly older wide band AM controllers too. I use one and am pleased with it. It is period correct for your RC10 Graphite.
