Those are the same buttons and unit in 007 James Bond's Austin Martin. I saw the same unit in his movies.

There is nothing printed next to the knob,
James bond you say? Well that is not where this photo was taken from. Ill have to look at some of the films to see if they are the same. Still trying to ID them however.

Well, James bond car did crash at the end of the movie and the Austin Martin ended up in a junk yard and Vinny scraped the parts and somehow they ended up here.

They look like buttons I saw on either an old teletype machine or juke box, not sure, sorry.
I don't think a juke box would have an operator button though.
You might try some of the ham radio sites, starting with ARRL (american radio and relay league), sorry don't have the url handy.
Some of the guys are OLD, from the days of tubes.
They may be able to point you in the right direction.
Let us know what you find.

my guess would be that this console was at one point part of a larger set of engineering test modules. the H1, H2 and M are likely to represent various states within a hilbert space and the operator button would have been used to implement whatever function the algebra operator was given within those states. given its age id say its a prime candidate for quantum engineering test equipment.

The H1 and H2 are actually N1 and N2, which me now think its avation and possiably military however I have never seen any switch or button with the letters written on them. I could be wrong but...........
