Loft find late 70's early 80's Acoms AP227
In my head I was given this gear with a Tamiya car when I was around 7, 8 or 9 making it somewhere in the region of '78, '79 or '80. Truth be told I cant actually remember the year but was under 10 years old. If anyone can shed some light on when this gear woulda been around that'd be peachey.
It all seems to work ok, even the speed controller, I thought about using it all again but I think I'll keep the next project modern.
Ideal for a vintage project though?

This was the radio set that was available when the SS & RR where released. Its the Mk1 handset but you have the wrong servo's for the handset. The servo outdrive should a square drive. The mechanical speedo you have in the pictures there is about 10 years younger than the handset. Bit of a mix and match lot you have there.
