I haven't got the first idea about model boats but quite fancy
attempting to restore one which I have just inherited. It's history is
"it was bought in Korea during the 50's" and that's all I know. Excuse
the layman terms but when you take the top section off to look at the
motors, one of the magnets is missing. I have no idea what batteries
the beast used to run on. The twin motors have the initials TMY on them
- can anyone tell me anything about this company. I am not even sure of
the type of boat - I do have some photo's available though

As I say I am a complete novice but we've all got to start somewhere -
Any help that anyone can give in terms of info / identifying the boat /
pointers / suggestions for good books etc etc would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.

>>>does it exist ?<<<<

It's there but doesn't seem to be any action on it. Could be your provider
doesn't carry it, I know that I find a newsgroup every now and then that Cox
doesn't offer.RM~
