Futaba repairs
I've got a wonderful older 6 ch. PCM radio that doesn't work. I think I have a prob. with my Rx.
Who do you send it to for repairs. I see so many ads for repair shops that I don't know which is better.

I would check with Pete Waters, former contributing editor to RCReport. His email last I knew was: [email protected]
Also, I've had good experiences with Futaba's service center in Illinois. They were quick to diagnose, fix, and return my Tx. See Futaba's website for contact information.

Send it to the Futaba repair center.
Hi Matt,
I've always had great service and quick turnaround time with the Futaba repair center. Their cost's are resonable for factory service and they are also friendly folks to deal with. Good luck with your radio.

I have an old 127df receiver which has a fairly short range check.
Is it worth the cost to have it sent for repair or just ditch it and buy a new one ?

lenny, I've had recievers repaired before and it's real reasonable, last one was about $23 If it's the 127, they run about $67 or so new, so it's definately worth it.
If you ditch it, ditch it my way, I'll pay postage.
You really want to fix it though.
I've dealt with Futaba for 20yrs++ and always good service, now better then ever.
