Hi Walt,    Be careful this unit has not been made for over 5 years,    mine failed and I did not think I would ever get a replacement but I did only because a g scaler had one un used because he went digital     You May be better going for somerthing differant in the long run

Hi Two Tone,

Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated.   I have several receivers and 3 transmitters so I'm pretty well dedicated to this system. I've not experienced any problems yet ...... keeping my fingers crossed.

Walt

I think that Aristocraft is still servicing these receivers.  I can't remember the last time I heard that, but there are lots of them out there, and I have several.  Does anyone know for sure that they are NOT servicing them.

I just had two receivers repaired by Aristocraft. One week ago. So they are still doing repairs. They said that if the "Chip" is gone, then it can't be fixed. I have no clue what that means.

I have a box of (6) HO receivers for 75mhz that need a new home.

These work on single motor G engines (I used one on the LGB rail truck)
