Old Tekin peak charger. RC10 vintage display.

[yellowdatsun]

Digging through old stuff, and found my old Tekin BC870 peak charger. Man, back then it wasn't cheap, and around here it was the charger to have. I was kinda disheartened when I looked on ebay and they aren't worth jack anymore.

Guess I'll just keep it as part of a "Vintage RC10" display I want to have at the house.
It will have the OG RC10,
the really old Pro-Tech 701 Supercharger, (you know, where you could charge from a car battery! Haha!)
a Radio Shack stick pack (with the original box!),
and an Airtronics XL2P.

What's awesome, is I still have a Radio Shack catalog from like 1998.

A little of each part we used to use. I may even build an old-style 10 light bulb discharger, that's be neat to add to the display, and be fun to make. What am I missing?

I'm in the same boat. It would be nice to recoup one darn dollar from the 1000s spent.

I too have a Tekin it's the BC67 model. Not worth but a few dollars. It's beautifully anodized still in its original packaging (like how I usually keep stuff). I also have a Futaba Magnum Sport, a Traxxas 3510 boat radio on display that my friends call ",The Doc Brown remote" lol, and an Airtronics FM 75 band CX2P. Man that cx2p was probably 40 hours of hard child labor in the summer sun of so cal mowing lawns.

It is a shame, but that's progress, I guess. I have around 40 radios that I've gotten in a bunch of RC lots, but as much as they are worth, I may as well have a transmitter chucking contest at our next family reunion.

Keep them, youll regret selling as its part of your history. Me ive got several Tekin chargers, Bc210 being my favourite, five Sanwa Gemini Exes transmitters and a Sanwa Gemin with case, plus four Tekin 410k , one Tekin 410s, one Novak M1c, two KO1001 servos, one futaba 9402 servo, one new in packet Reedy Mr X, one new in packet Reedy Mr A, five other Reedy Mr series motors used including one that was prepared by Mike himself, plus almost all the cars ive raced over the years. Cant bring myself to selling as sometimes remembering this puts asmile on my face.
