I stopped in at the local hobby shop tonight to pick up some hinge points, and one of the guys there had a box and bag of stuff from a hobbyist that had passed away. He wanted $20 for the lot.
The stash included a DSM2 6 channel receiver still sealed in the original box, three micro servos (two still in the original boxes), several larger servos, an old 72 Mhz band 4 channel transmitter (in case someone wants to kick it old school), three brushless motors, an old analog Tower Hobbies voltmeter, several motor mounts, a couple of pounds of lead shot, a prop balancer (minus the prop shaft itself), an incidence gauge, a smoke unit for a gas model, bags of miscellaneous hardware, and several old batteries (which, I'm guessing, are probably not any good).
Tomorrow's Holiday Lunch at the Flying Club will include a raffle and flea market/swap session. I might take a few of the items and see if anyone is interested. The Spektrum Receiver would be cool to use for upgrading one of the old park flyers, but it would be cheaper to buy a receiver that is compatible with the Tx I already have, than buying a new Spektrum Tx to go with the receiver.
