Futaba S-33 servos
HI,
I have an old kit that recommends Futaba S-33 servos. Can anyone give me an equivalent Hitec servo number? What is the weight and torque of a S-33?

NOTE: if your system is calling for G generation servos, then it uses G plugs on the receiver. Is it AM or FM? If AM, then is it gold stickered on the back? Please be sure the system you're dusting off is safe and legal to use.

to determine if your radio is currently legal.
Unfortunately, if your radio is not currently legal, we are no longer able to narrow band these old transmitters OR PERFORM ANY SERVICE ON THEM WHATSOEVER. If you do want your old TX narrow banded, unfortunately, we are no longer allowed under FCC to service these radios as of 3/98. It is questionable whether it is still legal for the non-affiliated service centers to service these radios. It is your option if you wish to contact one of the non-affiliated service centers (see below) to see if they may be able to assist you.
However, before doing so, there are a few things which you may want to consider. In addition to the cost of narrow banding, your receiver will need to be replaced. Also most likely your old servos are G connection style, so they, too must be replaced or you must purchase G to J adapters for each servo. If your radio hasn't been used since pre 1991 your RX and TX batteries almost definitely need to be replaced as well. When you add up all these costs it will be close to, if not more than, the cost of purchasing a brand new system. Technology has come a LONG way since before 1991, and the new equipment you would purchase will likely have more features as well as having better transmission/reception capabilities, thus making it more safer for you and your model.
