AMC ads in a circa 1970 (approz) model magazine
« on: January 06, 2024, 09:57:44 PM »
Hello,

I was wondering if someone who has a library of old model magazines would see if you can find some old ads for me.  I will compensate you for your efforts.

Somewhere around 1970 my Dad ordered a combo R/C package deal from America's Hobby Center.  It was a Sterling Mini Mambo, Cox .049 and a single channel push button rubber band escapement r/c system.   I would like a copy of the ad.

Also, in that time frame we bought (not sure where he got it) a OS Max 3 channel proportional system and a Controlaire 4 Channel r/c system.  The OS Max had a blue anodized case and the Controlaire had a silver polished aluminum case with polishing swirls.  I would like these ads.

I will pay you for your efforts for a copy of the ads we bought these from. 

Thank you... Rusty

Thank you James and Dan McEntee. 

Dan texted me the ad I was looking for.  It was in a 1968 magazine.

You guys are the best!!!

I am writing a story for my club newsletter about the first R/C plane my Dad and I had.

James, I went to the website and that is a very good site.  I will be looking up stuff there often.  However, the data is void advertisements.  I guess they did that to save space.  I actually remember a couple of the old magazine cover page.   Thanks
