atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums General General Telephone & Systems Information Newbee looking to ID something

If all you have is a picture, are you even sure that were all buttons. Some appear they could be lamps. Also, prop guys, (As you stated) will use anything to make a prop. These could be other button with green acrylic stones glued on top.

If this is a non fuctional device, you should be able to find close enough parts to duplicate it. If your just intrested in it's origin, then I think "Military" is the right direction.

Now that you mention it I was in the Navy (Circa 1975) and we had teletypes with those buttons on them.

Any photos of the teletypes for a visual ID?

I have found some similar buttons on test equipment like tube test equipment, but nothing exact.

Keep in mind Im just looking for the push button switches. I have all of the lights.
Thanks

I think its from an early limousine. Controls for lights,fans, ect...or possibly one of Elvis' cars.

I found this while searching. It is a prototype but came kinda close to what you have without the rotary knobs. I have to imagine the concept was the same for the military vehicles, the year is close aswell

if interested check this guys site out

I found this which appears to be operators equipment. Difentaly thelephone related.
Now where can these be found?

That's from an old switchboard. What are you looking to find?

The black push button switches. I need about 10
Perhaps some of the lights etc.
Not trying to breach the boards policy on solicitation.
But if you have more information then just email email me off forum

I'm not sure if you will be able to get any of that stuff new. I know here in Cleveland we have a store that has a lot of electronic parts that simply can't be found anywhere else. Their site is www.electronicsurplus.com
Maybe they can help you out.

I don't need new stuff just workable.
I have seen that site before but as you can tell from their site they post little to no photos.
Ill send then the photo I have and ask, perhaps I will get lucky but what usually happens is that most electronic places state they don't have time to search for something.
