Hi guys I think you are all missing something. If you look carefully there is a Basset-lowke Marine electric motor buried in there. Last one I saw on ebay went for £109.00.
Anyone desperate for one PM me.
I used to have older RC than that and it only took a small prayer to make it work!

I have an AVO 8 which is quite possibly older than I am. It's way out of calibration. I can make it work but I wouldn't
rely on it for anything other than perhaps going wrong at an awkward moment. I keep it as an ornament in my workshop, purely out of nostalgia.
Much the same goes for the radio in this model. The question was 'if you bought it would you strip out the old electronics' and my answer is as I said - it depends entirely on why I'd bought it.
I wouldn't use that radio if I wanted to sail the model regularly (and neither, I suspect, would you...). If one can sell the motor for silly money then the purchase of some modern radio gear is, as they say, a done deal.

It's almost certainly what used to be called "super regen", which means that NO other model can be operated at the same time on that frequency (or any frequency near it).
