Depends what it is Doug, In the scheme of things, futaba not that old, and vast amounts were sold on the world market, so, what set is it? Is it boxed, with manuals etc?

Hi Alan,
Not sure what you consider "not that old" but Futaba started selling model RC gear in 1961...... 57 years is not that old then. Still when you're knocking on the door of your 100 birthday, I can see your point
What model number is the gear Doug?

Hi Alan And Shaun.
The Vintage item is an early FM Digimax 5 channel Silver metal case no 1006162 their proportional model following single channel.
Also in original box a metal R/X plus a linear servo. This has the 5 wire lead to plug, long discontinued! )
I thought a r/c collecter might be interested for £12 to cover p&p. Doug.
