The dash buttons look to be the same as the Vader Chest box buttons.

There are quite a few parts on that dash that we see elsewhere...
The Hengstler Counter
Imperial Rank Rectangles / Vader Chest Buttons
"Catamaran piece" (Just above the hengstler)
Antenna greeblies (vertically oriented on the left side of the hengstler)
3PO/Vader Rod parts (some of which are now missing. Marcus, any shots "before"?)
With that hengstler in there its a grate source for Scale on those other greeblies.

Cool photo Marcus.
I have a few more unconventional Boston Landspeeder pics here

Chris, here's a picture showing the dashboard circa 1995. Has TK409 been near it since then???
Just noticed, the c3p0 hand piston is also missing.

Hell yeah man, we in the NEG got quite attached to that thing. The last day the exhibit was open they let us climb over the railing and take pictures with the speeder. We jokingly refer to it now as OUR landspeeder.
We miss it. :cry
Oh yeah... and the Playboy poster was in the cockpit in Boston. We found it instantly. :lol

Great pics.
I think they changed the steering wheel though. I remember it being a "U" shaped wheel. Couldn't find any great pics, but did find these:
I believe Luke's hands are resting on the ends here.
(I think the more common photo of this, like the puzzle, shows this better.)
And I know this is backwards and the model on the boom, but its the best I could find that shows the wheel.

There's another strategic rock where the front wheel would be. I always figured that was the wheeled version.
In fact, I always figured it was the same chassis on both the wheeled and boom versions.
I've just never seen any reference to there being more than one landspeeder.

Star Wars 365, Day 14, shows all 3.

The book indicates there were two full size speeders.
There was one speeder for mounting on the boom or the metal pole (one speeder used on two rigs) and the wheeled version.
2 speeders - but I don't think I've ever seen both in a single photo together.

Yeah looking at the pics again last night, it did seem the pole and boom version were identical. The weathering pattern matched too closely.
So I guess there were two made then. The one at COSI is the wheeled one, and the one repainted for TPM would be the other one.

Cool pics...Here's a few more quick points:
There WERE two speeders, the wheeled version and the boom version...However, my understanding is that the boom version was destroyed/crushed by LFL some years back...
The wheeled version is definitely the one that was repainted green for TPM...There are several photos that show that to be the case...They also recast one of the engine pod tops to cover the "exposed" pod on the original.
The small detail on the lower left of the dash panel is an elbow detail from 3P0...Yet another contribution from the golden god
I've never heard of a third speeder being made...Interesting...I'll have to check into that.
