Status: offline 		I have two antique servos that I need to identify. There are no markings. They are constructed of brass and the "circuit board" is similar to material used in 1950's electronics. Any help? See picture

Status: offline 		It's an odd and very specific servo. Will give left and right rudder, and forward-stop-reverse for an electric boat. If my memory serves me correctly, the aristo code-a-matic mechanical pulser works with it...

Status: offline 		Realistically speaking, I think you might be asking a little much for them. I would pay $20 apiece for them, tops. They are a very obscure and specific item. If you put them on ebay, you MIGHT find someone willing to pay a bunch for them, but only might. Airplane stuff is much more desireable.
I don't have a boat that I want to put a vintage radio into, or I would make an offer.
Good luck with it, neat stuff.
