My guess is that he did not test it, so he didn't know it was faulty. he may have got it 2nd hand like that. If only he could give more info to you deepdale11, you may be able to get it fixed for a small fee (Futaba is a very nice company in that respect)

After all a faulty Receiver is Futaba's reponsibility, not grass4600, not Royal Mail, not you deepdale11. (Rx is not something that can be damaged easily by user or transport.. It would have to be crushed, burned or something like that, believe me)
