Levers and other 50s stuff. Amazing it works at all. Love the handheld microphones.

Awesome. Love old hardware. You ever see the controls for the Panama Canal? It's all original:

It isn't around any more but I operated State Line Tower when it was still in operation back in the late 90's. Also been up in Dolton but was not allowed to operate it.

VERY cool. They just don't make shit like they used to.
