FWIW, there was a RAX-* receiver on ebay sometime in the last 6
months-year with a 12v dynamotor. While the set was mildly modified,
the dynamotor looked to retain the same mounting plate as the 28V
version (2 snap slides with handles) and sported one of those large
12V metal tags on it. Was pretty clear in at least one of the shots.

I had thought about bidding on it, but chose not to. It brought a lot
of money. IIRC, it was one of the sets from the seller astle's attic
or whatever his ID is. I paid special attention to it as it looked
like it had all 4 of the snap slide mounting 'chairs' as Mr Hanz calls
them, but close inspection showed one was missing. Think it went for
either $350 or $500+?

Now, whether this was a stock (output voltage-wise) dynamotor or the
set had been modified to accept one of the 12v Command set dynamotors,
I have no idea. The base was correct, so I assumed it was an
acceptable substitute for the 28v version. But who knows?

Maybe someone on the list was the winner and can shed more light. It
got my attention at the time since there had been a recent discussion
on here about it. Maybe a previous attempt by you at gaining more
insight, Mike.
