I think some of you guys may vaguely recognize this panel from a little movie called Star Wars... (ep4 ANH)
It's an old Grass Valley Group 1600-7K control panel for television video switching... but the insides of this thing are monstrous. I think I can find the manual for it (complete with wiring diagrams and stuff.) I want to wire this sucker up to a Keywiz and play a lot. It's got momentary switches, toggle switches (standard metal on/off), push on/push off switches, and of course, the lever that you use to fire the Death Star's Super Laser. I think the levers (this one has 2 of them) have 2 pots a piece on them...
Anyway, what would you guys do with this thing if you had it? (TRASHING IT IS NOT AN OPTION).
I have attached two pics, one of which is a frame from the movie and another i found on the net. I do not have pix (yet) of my panel.
