Default Re: Purchasing an R1155 receiver

There are steel R1155s which mostly wound up in small ships, and aluminium ones which were intended for planes.

Back in the fifties, the dealers knew they could flog the receivers, but no-one wanted the aircraft-related cables, intercom, switches and other accessories. Consequently these bits are harder to find than the receivers. There are collectors wanting to assemble realistic aircraft installations and they compete for anything that turns up. The star of the show is the 'J-Switch' accessory box.
