JR 783 Resale value?
Hey guys, I've been out of the hobby for about 3 years, and realize that the introduction of spread spectrum has changed some things. I am not going to be able to rejoin the hobby, so I'm thinking of selling off my equipment. Does anyone know if the JR 783 has any resale value. I have no idea if it is still legal/works with the new frequency set up. If it is still good, what can I expect to get for it? Thanks
Alex

It's still a good radio. It is out of production, but still can get serviced. I agree with Mike. Get the Spektrum module and start flying it until you know what you want to do. As for price, I would only offer you $50 for the transmitter only. The DX7 is $349 new with everything. Also if you need to replace batteries, which is very possible a new radio may make more since.. Hard to spend $30 on a battery for a $50 radio. Dennis

Or just use it as is . . . 72MHz didn't suddenly break when all the lemmings charged over to 2.4 . . . If anything, it got better! Less folks to contend with for channels!

From RC Groups:
"....i have a old JR 783 transmitter like new with a module plugged to the back of it..."
Seems there is such a thing as JR 783 and it is modular.
