Receiver for Futaba 6XAs

What is a reliable FM dual conversion receiver to look for (used) which is compatible with my newly acquired Futaba 6XAs. There is a swapmeet coming up in a few weeks.

I have used Futaba 127df, Hitec 555 and Hitec electron 6. All work just fine.

Hitec Micro 555 and Electron 6 are good choices for small size and light weight. The Hitec Super slim 8 and Supreme 8 are excellent if size and weight are not an issue.

Any receiver that supports the Futaba shift (negative) will work... I've used Futaba, Hitec, GWS, and FMA with great success!
