There are two A.R.C. D-10 dynamotors, the D-10 (DY-91
(14V) and DY-90 (28V)) and the D-10A (DY-89 (14V) and
DY-86 (28V).

Except for being less efficient, the D-10 is rated at
250VDC @ 60mA, as are the DM-32 and the DY-2A/ARR-2,
and is interchangeable with them.

The D-10A is rated at 250VDC @ 85mA and was generally
used with A.R.C.'s Type 12 equipment.

Any of the command set receiver dynamotors can be used
satisfactorilly with Type 12 receivers, such as your
R-11 or the R-19, but, when used to power one of those
little transmitters, they really suck.  The D-10A's
work much better.
