Good Brothers Set
Posted: 30 Mar 2023, 22:33
I know some of my collection is a bit niche, but I managed to find a boxed and in-new condition Good Brothers receiver to go with my immaculate Good Brothers Tx and boxed escapement, manufactured for them by Beacon Electronics. I had already got a receiver, so there are two in my collection now. Considering they were all made in 1946, their condition is remarkable.
The historic significance of the Good Brothers R/C set is that it was the first commercially available R/C set available for the hobby, before this everything was home designed and built (or only available to the military), so these sets kicked started the hobby in the immediate post WW2 years.
PS before anybody asks, the transmitters below are all Skleaders, a Skyleader 3+1, A Skyleader 4 and an early Skyleader SL
