The DYMO label in swedish means "TURN". So by holding the switch to the left the servo will travel in that direction. Release and the spring loaded switch goes back to center pos and the servo motion stops. Press to the right to have servo travel in the other direction as long as you keep the switch in that position. Probably takes some getting used to.</p></div>Vintage O.S transmitterhttps://diydrones.com/photo/vintage-os-transmitter-12010-12-06T14:10:23.000Z2010-12-06T14:10:23.000ZGunnar Forsgren mobimation.comhttps://diydrones.com/members/GunnarForsgrenmobimationcom<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3689942430?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>A closeup of the model plate.</p></div>Vintage O.S transmitterhttps://diydrones.com/photo/vintage-os-transmitter2010-12-06T14:10:19.000Z2010-12-06T14:10:19.000ZGunnar Forsgren mobimation.comhttps://diydrones.com/members/GunnarForsgrenmobimationcom<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3689941671?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p>I got this one along with that battered Kyosho plane, they are not related in any way although the seller probably tried to make it look so.
