I finished my 50T-1443, about 6 months ago, and could not get it to work. I finally bit the bullet and took it to Bill Santoro, who lives about an hour from me.
He did compliment me on my restoration of the chassis, he said it looked great, the problem he found so far is that I'm not the first to have done work to it, and the guy made some mistakes. So he is straightening it out for me. He is One heck of a nice guy. His specialty is Predictas, He even does work for Ross Marshall, by the way, another nice guy. I wonder if other manufacturers have such good people in the hobby ?
