I'm relatively new to the field, so I’m not sure what to think of a piece I saw on eBay. It says it's an indicator panel made for Burans. What do you think it is? Panel of Pressure in engines indicator Russian Soviet Spaceship Buran.  |

I will start by saying I am not an expert on these things, there are others on here who could speak more authoritatively. It appears that the picture of the inside of the cockpit is supposed to offer some provenance or proof that these were the type used in Buran. The panel in the left hand side of the picture appears to be a different panel. It has four columns of seven buttons compared to four by four in the one for sale. It also looks like the buttons are a slightly different shape. A quick google search found the same four by seven panel being the only one I could see in use. The button colorings don't match either. Perhaps someone who knows Russian could translate the words on the buttons. All of that to say from that perspective I would approach with caution. |

Seems like a master caution panel with fire, oil/fuel pressure, etc. indicators. According to Buran cockpit photos available online, four by seven panels were installed on both sides. |

Hmm, eBay says seller away until 2031. That is a long time to wait on an item.

Inspecting current and previous Russian seller listings - with a few exceptions much of what is being offered and described as space program affiliated are misrepresentations; the items have some loose resemblance to Russian spacecraft components (either visually and/or functionally) but are associated with aviation and non space application. |

Thanks for the replies, I suspected as much.I ran it through Google translate, it does appear to have a ice warning indicator too. That seamed at least to indicate somewhat high altitude. |
