Default WTB: NON-WORKING vintage electronics

I have a few vintage cars I am restoring and want to display. I would like some appropriate electronics to stick in them.

These cars won't be run so I don't want working stuff. I am looking for circa-1989 equipment, either Novak or Tekin. I need:

2 Speed controls
2 Batteries (7 cell 1700 SCE or 7 cell 1400 SCR)
2 Novak or Tekin receivers
2 Motors (Checkpoint, Revtech, Trinity or Twister)

Like I said - I don't want working stuff since, to be honest, I don't want to pay the premium for working stuff. I am hoping I can do this reasonably cheap.

I have a very old Novak floating around somewhere. I'll try to find it and take pics for you. I'd only like $20 shipped for it.

I know you said Tekin or Novak, but what about a Futaba?
Made 85-87.

I have many old motors. I have many trinity motors including the 1987 black worlds motor. I will take pictures and email them. $20 each shipped. All will come with a fresh rebuild and serrated brushes cut.

Also have a old Tekin nicad charger from the old tekin.

If you could send me some pics that would be great. I am 39 now so my memory isn't what it used to be and I don't recall what model numbers I ran. Pictures would be the best way since I remember what the stuff looked like.

Sounds good. Like with the above comment pics are best. I ran a Trinity, Twister and finally a Checkpoint in my Dominator and the Cat I ran Trinity and Revtech mostly so it sounds like you have what I am looking for.

I still have one of my Tekin BC100 chargers for the display so I won't need that.

Novak T1 and NER2x receiver, excellent cosmetic condition, the brake FET on the T1 is a little weak/on it's way out, otherwise they both work fine.
$35 for both shipped? (checking ebay, the ESC hovers around $30-$40, and the receiver can go for around $15)
