Wow here's one I can help with, being in the electrical construction I recognized item "C" as a weatherproof switch cover. A quick google search and its a Carlon Weatherproof Toggle Cover #E98TSC Enjoy.. :cool

The other things might be a vacuum tube tester or something.

Hi
I am wondering if you are you trying to make the whole wall section or did you win the Damage Control panel in the auction and are recreating it as it should be?
Big Congrats if you got the original! I am trying to work out a working replica of the panel and would appreciate any help/ guidance!

That would definately make a cool wall schene in your office.
Not sure about A.
Item B looks like the old volt meter testers I used years ago in military electronics school.
Looks like C has already been identified.

As the series was shot in Canada, I would guess the sets were built there too. So, with that in mind, perhaps this is really the latest in high tech gear up there?
<ducking beer cans>
Really, any Canadian members that have surplus places to check?
"A" really looks like old tape/film reel counters or something... If I am in Apex in the near future, I will llook for those for you!

That would be great because i have searched all day and found nothing so far. The weather proof switches are perfect but that guy only has 1 in stock )(&^%^&)*)*) i need 18....
I am replicating that entire wall including the lighted display for a client and will try to keep a running log when i get started. I am in the collecting pieces phase, then i will be bugging you for LED advice hehehehe.

I'm thinking something from Ham radio for the meters. Just not sure what.

When all else fails, contact the manufacturer:

If they are worth a damn they should be able to put you in contact with a reseller.

Item 'a' looks very familiar. I could almost swear I have seen that panel-either it's the same one or a variation of it.
I work at a goverment lab sometimes and there is a room that has old equipment that is not used anymore. I will be going back there next week and I will take a look for you. I will look for item 'b' too. I can get some pics also.

Moff Man I just called my parts distributor and he's getting me a quote for 18 of those exact covers. If your interested Ill pm you with a price and we can work something out, if I can get the exact cover.
Edit to add: I got the first quote back they quoted gray body with grey switch, I wonder if the red switch is only available(or made) in Canada? I have one more quote Im waiting on.
