Wow I haven’t seen a KRAFT R/C in decades. That was high tech in its day.

Thanks for a trip down memory lane.

PS: we had to have a Radio Operators license to operate it legally.

I got this 2 channel (?) Orbit R/C gear a long time ago and it worked then. One of these days I'll try it out. I'm guessing the little board is a B+ battery eliminator as I'm pretty sure there is a mini-tube in the receiver.
