Actually, if you look at the Hall of Fame, there are a number of combinations of colour and front fascia, including an all over brown hammer tone finish (like mine). Colour of knob and trim often doesn't match either.

I saw those, the original owner told me the original knob was the odd shape one in the earlier photos and the same colour.

I have some chunky white and dark green plastic, will have a go at carving one or two, I enjoy that sort of work.
Cheers,

See the socket under Testors T on the above picture, on mine the original owner said his father fitted one in as a charging jack, he removed the dry cell holder and fitted it with a 10 cell DEAC pack (button cells). Anyone know if it had another use or not other than for charging?

Have you, guys, realize that the logo that Testor used is quite similar to the Tesla logo?

Copyright infringement!! Elon probably never heard of Testors.

It seems the Testors were also made at several locations as well, including Los Angeles, and Addison Illinois. The design was by Don Dickerson, and the receiver is schematically identical to Ace R/C's D.E. Pulse Commander receiver which was for Adams magnetic actuators. Like many R/C manufacturers, there are versions that may vary as far as color and graphics, even within a given production run because they used what they had on hand at the time. When the production shifted from Los Angeles to Illinois, no doubt they got a jumble of parts from various revisions and used them up as needed , regardless. The color of the actuators were white, or red.
