RE: Old Futaba AM - What is salvageable?
Hi Tom,
Brings back memories, that set was my first R/C rig back in 88'
The transmitter should be no problem, as mine bought in Jan. 88 was gold stickered narrow band, that receiver regrettably is not narrow band, so it can't be used at an AMA field.
Futaba still sells the 4 ch. AM narrow band receiver but it takes the current J style connectors, not the old G connectors on those servos.
So, yes there is life in that old conquest, only the batteries should be considered a total write off, but the receiver can only be used at a private flying site where others are not flying.
Good luck,
Pete
