I've got several of these Transmitters and have been trying to get matching Receivers, Crystal sets, and Servo's. These are the FP-T 2F models that are metal cased and originally came with tan colored plastic cased receivers and servo's. Those servo's by the way were a square drive not a splined drive, making the chance of finding servo horns difficult. Being that these originated before I was born, and over time some of the channels that they were made to run on, have since been rendered illegal by the FCC. So hobby shops won't help me and have said they'd be forced to confiscate them if I brought them in, so did this one guy who mods old systems up to 2.4 Ghz, and charges full blown prices that would get you a modern high end system. So I need to understand how to identify crystals frequencies when some are interchangeable, some are not. There was 27 MHz, 72 Mhz, and 75 Mhz. Some if not all were AM. I don't think they used FM before the early 1980's. I could be very wrong. Futaba wouldn't help when I was trying to figure out the correct lengths of receiver antenna wire(s), as most of the used receivers I bought had their wires chopped. Any help would be appreciated. Thx
