Default Does anybody have this charger?

Does anybody have this charger? I just got it at our swap meet last month and have'nt really had a chance to try it.
No box, but I got wires for both the Tx, and Rx.

I purchased one about 12 years ago and it was OK for several years untill the peak detection on the Rx side failed and quit working. Finally threw it away.

Keep in mind is not a very capable charger or versatel like a modern one and is OK only for Nicad packs. Uses a single non selectable charge rate and is only good for 4.8 Rx packs or 9.6 Tx packs of about 600Mah capacity. If you use larger capacity packs then this one will not do the job properly.

Mine was OK until I drove through a car wash with my field box in the bed of my truck.

Should work just fine then. Make sure the peak detector does shut off before the battery gets to hot.

Personally I kinda like Chucks car wash idea though
