Here's some more of these pushbuttons and indicators. I'm told these were removed from "panels in Houston", no idea otherwise where they came from:
Here's a different view:
The longer units have a coil behind the pushbutton, which, when energized, holds the button in when pressed. When de-engergized, the buttons pop back out. And they change between two different colors too.
I'm told these smaller units came from tape readers that were somewhere on site. Most of them light up, but only one color:
When touring the preserved MOCR in Houston, can the public get "up close" to the panels? I'd love to see if I can find any of these on the consoles that are there.
Thanks,
Rich
