I went looking for a spare Futaba 6jT TX, when mine went into the shop for repair, and I saw that any of them that had been offered for sale were quickly sold. And, of course, this radio is discontinued, so nobody has them in stock (so I thought).
Therefore, it is likely that some of you may be interested in the following "for what it's worth".
Disclaimer: My recent experience with the vendor was good, but I am not making any guarantee or representation about this vendor. The information is presented as "take it at face value".
This hobby shop has both the 6JT TX/RX and TX/RX + Servos new in box and in stock. It took about 2 weeks for the radio to arrive after the order was placed. Note: They cannot ship with rechargeable battery packs in the TX. Shipment is w/o a battery pack (AA ready).

Shipment was by EMS carrier which interfaced to the USPS upon arrival to the USA. The last leg was via USPS...signature required.
The contact who handled my order/shipment: rubens@gabahobby.com I worked everything through email with Rubens.
New In Box items Include: Futaba 6J 6-Channel Transmitter, R2006GS Receiver, Instruction Manual, Neckstrap and Smooth Ratchet Plate for Heli Throttle. And, there is a version which also includes all the above + servos.
Minor Order Glitch: At first, I was asked for some personal information/ID. Rubens explained to me that their order system requires a UNIQUE ID. So, I made up a UNIQUE ID number and gave it to him. It turns out that any UNIQUE ID number will work in their order system. So, don't be turned off by such a request. You can make up any ID number you want to. At least it worked for my order. I did not supply any personal information other than my address.
Hope you find this useful. Bottom line, I ordered one, got a brand new TX/RX it in about 10 days, fired it up, and it works perfect with my planes after linking/binding. Yes...The TX had an FCC sticker on the back.
