Denis Watkins Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Transmitter switches are very easily obtained and replaced Rocker, look online for your transmitter switches Edited August 21, 2023 by Denis Watkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Bowers Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 If it's something you wish to have done for you, Mike Ridley. He's done several jobs for me and I'd be happy to use him again. https://modelradioworkshop.co.uk/servicing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They state that Futaba servicing is still operating: http://ripmax.com/AR_Contact.aspx That said +1 from me for Mike Ridley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Only get the Original Futaba ones, if you break one open you will see why they are so expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper to put a new switch on my 10 J and save a few hundred quid I just wish I could solder. 😪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some modification of the circuit board would be necessary to fit one of the above types. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engine Doctor Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Dont be tempted to try. Futaba often mount the switches in pairs onto a PCB that is double sided. Unsoldering the old switch can damage the board unless you are up to speed on PCB work. Edited August 21, 2023 by Engine Doctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Thanks Engine Doctor That is very interesting.I think I just leave it then .Might give Ripmax a ring and let them do it then Edited August 21, 2023 by Rocker Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J D 8 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Ripmax is restructuring at this time, so you may have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
