North American Aviation T-6, SNJ or Harvard, Front, Pilots Instrument Panel. Likely a Harvard (model unknown) pilots front instrument panel. The panel needs a comprehensive restoration to be in museum displayable condition. One of the unique features about this panel is that it has a bottom hinged, light equipped, contoured aluminum cover held in place with two ¼ turn fasteners for even lighting and ease of maintenance access. The missing rate of climb gauge position requires an unusual 6 o’clock knob position, also the opening in the lower row on the left side is usually capped in references, but could use a carb air or outside air temp gauge. Instruments are represented to be in non-working condition, though the oil temp gauge needle deflects when heat or cold is applied to the bulb. The instruments are generally of the same WWII vintage as the panel, but may be newer or older and have a WWII appearance. The clock is non-working civilian. All six metal placards are intact and readable, but need restoration. The rare left and right mounting brackets are in place, to allow attaching to the pilots cockpit tubular. The panel is offered in “as is where is”, condition, no returns. No sales outside the US. Shipping requires a good sized box and resulting significant cost. Inquire regarding shipping and handling cost possibly as much as $100.
