3064. The earlier answer for autopilot technology in WWII,
the A5 was ultimately replaced by the advances of the C-1 which was
standardized at the end of WWII. But it was quite advanced for its time
and worked well. This is the control head of the A5 and is NOS in the
box, as the photos show.
**NOTE: These are sample photos of the controller. I have one more available but the label on the box is not in as good condition as the ones in the photos. |
$75.00 |
   |
6451. Late WWII AN/APX-6 Transpondor. This was the last of the WWII versions of the APX IFF transponders. Note WWII contract dates on this example. This one is in very good condition for display or installation on a restoration. /td> | $125.00 |
    |
5621. Pre-WWII era cream faced non-sensitive altimeter. This one is in very good to excellent condition, and works with altitude and weather changes. OEM Part for early pre-WWII Stinson, Aeronca, Taylorcraft, Rearwin, and Piper Aircraft | $175.00 |
  |
5629. Unidentified, possibly late 1940's or early 1950's jet aircraft instrument panel. No nomenclature plate to identify it. There is damage from where something was forcibly removed, but it is reparable. | $250.00 |
       |
5631. Possibly WWII 4 Engine Engineer's Panel. I have not identified it, but suspect it is a Douglas Product. | $350.00 |
   |
2228. Curtiss SOC Seagull Fuel Tank Gauge. If you like the beautiful lines of the Curtiss Seagull, you know there are none left in the world escept a few parts scattered among collectors. These are the fuel gauges for the aircraft, also marked SON for the Naval Aircraft Factory-Built version. This gauge type was a direct read gauge which used a small counter-pressure plunger to read the amount of fuel remaining in the tanks. I have two versions of this gauge- a shallow back and a deep back. All have WWII dates but I believe they were manufactured prior to the war. Very rare! | $100.00 |
  |
Bendix Type EW-L Four Engine Magneto Switch. I believe this is the flight engineer's mag switch for a C-54, DC-4 or DC-6 | $60.00 |
       |
482. Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation or Ford Motor Company B-24 Liberator Bomb Bay Fuel Tank Sight gauge. This gauge was located in the bomb bay between the two sets of roller doors on the Liberator. A flight member could look at the tubes and know how much fuel remained. These were removed from scrapped aircraft after WWII. The have a 32 prefix part number, which is correct for Consolidated Liberators. Some have a GK prefix, indicating they were made by a subcontractor for the Ford Motor Company, which built 8000 Liberators in WWII. | $175.00 |
    |
Reiker Instrument Industries, Philadelphia, Pitch Gauge for US Naval Airship or Aircraft from 1920's or 1930's. This is a simple mechanical level gauge and is in used condition. | SOLD |
  |

G. Felsenthal and Sons Cruising Calculator Mark I. Carried by all WWII USN pilots or navigators. | $25.00 |
   |
US Army Air Force BC732 control head for the ZB-1 glide slope receiver. The whole system was known as the MRN-1 and consisted of the ground radio and antennae and aircraft reception equipment. Developed before WWII, it was perfected and used throughout the war as the standard instrument approach system. The system is essentially the same one in use with modern upgraded radios. This control head was in every aircraft equipped with the ZB-1. Note these are WWII control heads with 1960's yellow tags! | $19.00 |
 |
3758. 8DJ4PXR. The Lockheed Lightning flap and landing gear gauge. Very rare, and used only on this type of airplane. Please note that these are ORIGINAL! Recently, other gauges like the DJ20 and DJ17 have been rebuilt with newly manufactured faces as replicas of this gauge. The ones I have in stock are ORIGINAL P38 gauges, not remade ones, and were removed from scrapped aircraft at the end of WWII. | $325.00 |

       |
3722. Pratt Whitney Pre-WWII, WWII, and later engine test panel. For ground testing a Pratt Whitney Radial. I believe this is pre-WWII due to the Scintilla type EA Magneto Switch with the company name embossed on the switch- I have never seen one in 25 years of collecting. Reliance Tachometer is early, as well as some of the other instruments, but the panel was obviously upgraded over the years. Extremely rare. I want this to go to a good location, and will consider partial trades and other arrangements with museums. | $2000.00 |
