Looks like a clean set with some "modernities" like dual rate, just a quick note if you are going to convert and use the original encoder:
This looks to be a mode I Tx which makes little complicated to modify to mode II as you would have to remap the channels as Kraft dual rate was based on pure resistors and how the stick pot was centered, sometimes you are lucky and it's enough to swap the wires between throttle and elevator...if not you would notice when you switch dual rate that the center of you elevator will move.
The PPM signal would also needs to be reversed
Some RF-modules would need to have the channel sequence also remapped so FailSafe works properly if somebody needs advice please PM as you have to cut the tracks on the PCB and add jumpers, see KraftyOne post on RcGroups:
