ICBM Launch Control Console Indicators
I just had to post a pic of my latest acquisition. These are indicators off an ICBM Launch Control Console, possibly a Titan II but I am trying to find out conclusively. I now have access to a whole hodgepodge of components pulled out of a decommissioned silo and hope to acquire more instruments like these.

Re: ICBM Launch Control Console Indicators
Too bad it would be hard to hook it up as the lighting & fan control console for your living room. Neat piece, though.

Re: ICBM Launch Control Console Indicators
Really basic and straight to the point. I like that - especially the "no go" button.

Re: ICBM Launch Control Console Indicators
"no go" is a really good button to have.

Re: ICBM Launch Control Console Indicators
Pastfinder,
What a remarkable piece of history! The societal implications of such a panel are huge. On one hand you have the guarantee of a country to defend Democracy and Freedom. On the other, if ever used, you had the start or end of the world as we knew it. Sorry to be so philosophical but seeing such a panel "first hand" so to speak really made a point with me. Neat piece... Gerry NTAT |
