I bought the items below several years ago on eBay. I remember the listings as being nicely detailed, but I didn't print them out, and the receipts I saved have just a few words for each. So I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can describe what the items below are called, in which module they would have been, and what they were used for. I know that at least one of them is not the same as the actual flight item, but is a "mock-up" made for a rough simulator or for some other reason. Any links to websites showing specifics for them would also be greatly appreciated. I put numbers with them to help with your descriptions. Thank you!     |

Steve, although you did not list it here, the toggle switch I gave you a few years back was a production item from the LM. Most of what you have pictured looks like it came from the CM. |

The toggle switches are the type used in CM simulators. Number 1 is also similar to the type used in the Block I CM panel. The guard on that switch is the type used in the CM Main Display Console (Panels 1, 2, 3).I believe the talkbacks are the same as those used in the CM Block I and II panels. Number 5 shows fake circuit breakers from a CM simulator. I think the guards in 5 and 6 are for toggle switches, and maybe only for simulators. Number 7 is a good CM Block I rotary switch knob. | |
