Title: Futaba "M" radio control
Post by: Ian Robins on July 01, 2008, 10:01:16 pm

Hi,
I have been given a futaba "m"  gold radio set. 27 mhz, 4 servos, batteries & charger, crystals, flags etc
Boxed in used but brilliant condition.
Now I dont use this radio and I was wondering if anyone knows of a collector of this type of radio and as for value i have totally no idea

thanks

Probably not worth much but they were well made reliable sets. I still use two steerwheel versions myself.

Thanks for the offer but my present and future boats will have modern sets. Antique sets=antique boats! To tell the truth, it's the steerwheel I like. I find it's easier to steer the boat when it's coming towards you.
