Are these RCCA archives available anywhere these days??
- I cannot seem to make that WayBack Machine (referenced above) work?

I am mainly looking for a legible copy of June 1991, for the RC10 six-gear transmission article.
- This article was posted here on 10Talk years ago by Brandon G., but when I print that version it is too small/blurry to read...

As seen in the first post, they're all available in the RC10Talk library: https://www.rc10talk.com/library/?RCCA


Here is the direct link to the 1991 June edition: https://www.rc10talk.com/library/RCCA/1991/6-RCCA_1991_June.pdf


Enjoy! :)

I knew this was available but had kinda forgotten about it. Makes me think a tablet would be really nice just for looking at these. 🤔 Phones are for Quakers.

Just a quick question.

Why are the Tower Ads not included as well as some other ads? I love looking at the old catalogs.

RCCA stripped out the ads when they scanned them years ago. It sucks, those were the best part. Unfortunately nobody else has had the time or means to scan their collection.

I have a complete collection of RCCA 1986-96, the first 10 years, plus all the books and special issues.. and a 10 year old printer scanner :lol: It would be a big project for sure!

Moms are the best. They know to keep these things that would otherwise be trashed years ago. I think I have every issue up until some time in '92. It's cool that I have the exact ad for Sheldon's Hobbies that I used to buy my RC10 w/ XL2P bundle! Sometime I plan to scan the ads from at least one issue.
