1971 Control Panel

phoney · 11-08-2008, 07:31 PM

I aquired a 1971 Control Panel in appropriate condition for 37 years old. One light socket is broken. I would like to know what a fair price would be if I sold it? Ebay or Craigs list?
Thanks for any input.

got any pics? I have a 70 and would like to have at least an original style control panel. Mine is in not so good condition

What does "appropriate condition" mean? Do the barometer, humidity, ammeter, and battery level gauges all work? Are there any cracks in the molding?

I could use a working clock for a '72 panel, if anybody out there has one...

They had this in the store last year - 1/4 shaft - shows online only now...?

Had to snip a little off the tip of the minute and hour hands.... other than that it fit without a problem.

My apologies for not responding to this thread. I have been absorbed in my own project and forgot I put this out. The panel is in very good condition and everything seems to work except the clock. The post by Ganglin shows a clock movement that looks like it would fit. There is one light socket that is brokenand the socket won't stay in. I would glue a piece of plastic pipe in it's place and put the socket back in. There are no cracks. There is some slight discoloring but not real bad.
Thanks.

Well, given that it's 39 year old plastic and electronics (if you want to call it that), I wouldn't pay more than $25 + shipping, especially if the unit has a broken light socket. Also, is the brown stripe that runs around the front 100% intact? Most of the ones I've seen are faded in areas.

That's my opinion, but then again I've never been one of those who pays an arm and a leg, just because the name Airstream appears on it, especially when there's no guarantee that the monitor panel itself works...clocks are easy to replace.
