AP-427 radio set...
This is the radio as removed from my 46 inch long 'Fireboat'.
1982 Acoms AP-427 transmitter - with ARA-427 receiver and four AS-7 servos.
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...
Seventies Futaba radio gear...

Mint Get it in an old 3 speed!!

Not MINT - but well-looked-after !
Back in 'the day', 30 years ago... those old 3-speeds never 'did it' for me - they were not fast enough !
Now that I am as slow as those can go - they are too expensive for what they are - toy trucks !
No - it will go into a different boat, unless someone buys it.
I have had offers...!

Note that there is no battery box and switch harnesss...
...lost over time because the radio has been used in boats with an ESC.

Hello Alex,
I dug out the correct battery box for this - it took SOME finding as I have never used it !
The sticks are now converted to Mode 2 - and it has had a full makeover.
It looks ALMOST mint now... certainly as good as my old Futaba radio sets.
