Default Litco Systems Alpha 4

Does any one know how to get in touch with them? The web site is blank, and sending them mail did not help.

I cannot say 100%, but I believe they have been out of business for several years. I have one of there chargers and love it. I hope it never brakes.

I too have an Alpha 4 and love it. Up until a few years ago, I had the Alpha 4 trans charge plug set up to charge Futaba transmitters. Since I switched to JR I think the plug needs to be switched around as the JR is different that Futaba. What do I have to do to make the change?

May only be a polarity change, I do think that the Alpha 4 makes that change, However Test it first to make sure. Too many fires being talked about lately.

Undue the connector that plugs into the Alpha 4 that charges the tx battery and reverse the wire polarity, that's it....

I have my Litco set up to charge JR 10X. I just cut off the xmitter charge plug from wall charger, attached to Litco leads, red to red, black to black, has worked for years
