Vintage RC radio - Futaba FP-T 2F testing - Part 1 - Fail

Hi all. In this (kinda lengthy) video I attempt to get the Futaba FP-T 2F radio going that came with a vintage Tamiya Rough Rider I bought recently. After replacing the receiver battery holder and making an adapter for the transmitter battery holder, it didn't work after all. The transmitter turns on, the servos move a tad when the power is turned on but the system doesn't actually work. Pretty disappointing as it would have been nice to have a unit of it's vintage that is also functional. Not to worry, I'm sure others will come along. Enjoy!
