At this point, it just makes sense to send it in for a checkup and have the module and receivers retuned to 72MHz so I can still use them on aircraft. If I can find a 2.4 module, I'll be set for a long time since I can't see needing anything more than what I have now for aircraft.

I would be surprised if Futaba has any 72mhz modules and receivers to sell. The 2.4 modules seem pretty inexpensive though. Or if you are set on 72mhz, you can pick up a used TX very cheaply as well and Rob it’s module. Same offer, if you can use the 72mhz receiver I have I will be happy to send it to you.
