My Father passed away and had a rather large RC collection. I am looking to sell these items and the only thing I know is that he paid about $1,200 for it back in the day.
I'm having a hard time pulling together relevant information about this RC submarine, but there is a manual from D&E Miniatures. It is a super-nicely done replica of the USS Scorpion, hull # 589 - a Skipjack-class nuclear attack submarine that sunk with all hands lost in 1968.
It has a 3" diameter hull and is 31" long. It has a water tight gas cylinder installed.
It does not have a radio, but it has had one in the past and was used. It appears to be ready to sail with a new radio installed.
Currently installed it has a HiTech 40 Mhz Rx inside along with two Futaba servo's plus one the builder (Clive Wadsworth) told me Dave Merriman installed in the WTC for ballast operation. Also installed is an Mtronik 15 amp ESC, SubTech APC4 and a GWS failsafe.
The electronics were new the last time it was used (about 2007) and she has sat inside an oak cabinet since then. The push rod "C" cup seals and "O" ring were changed at the same time.
I know absolutely nothing about these beautiful models, so what I am writing is what I can gather from emails, etc. about the boat.
Feel free to make me an offer. I am doing a lot of research on this and trying to be fair. I want to get fair market value for it, but I also care a lot that it finds its way into the hands of someone who will love it.
