Hi
I'm trying to identify a set of old electronics panels. I've being able to identify the most of them, but there are still several that I definitively can't find.
So I kindly ask you if you can help me to identify any equipment in the attached pictures. Any indication would be welcome.
Thank you!
Regards

Hi
At least from the pictures, there are no manufacturer ID's on any of them. Is that really the case? If so, it'll take a view that shows the markings on the switches and buttons to guess what they were custom built to do.

Unfortunately these are the only pictures I have. They were used as movie props that I try to reconstruct for an exhibition.

Hi
A lot of the prop guys bought gear by the truck load. The combination had real test gear in it and custom boxes made for very specific things. They really didn't care what it was. If it lit up and looked shiny ... that was fine. Some of the stuff lived a long life floating between various movies.

"Sans-titre-1.jpg" looks like a custom panel, not a standard part. The control switches are typical of those used in control panel builds.

Yeah, I'm forced to be agreed with that. But what about the others?
05970019.jpg : Could it be anything but power supplies ? I found only two manufacters that have meters that look like these ones: EG&G (http://www.lislesurplus.com/misc/Eg-g-parc-model-124A-lock-in-amplifier-2HZ-210KHZ/Eg-g-parc-model-124A-lock-in-amplifier-2HZ-210KHZ-1.jpg) and Spectral Dynamics (http://lego.store-expert.info/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/7/7/7781141t7Z0EgiIL.jpg)
PICT3943.jpg : No idea what kind of equipment it could be? A calculator? A dispatcher or communications device?
Power-controller.jpg : I think these 3 equipments are the same manufacturer. However for first one (it's written somthing like "UUTpower controller"), I think the grid with leds have been added in order to "lit up and look shiny" as uncle_bob say
briefcase.jpg : That's a pity, the model name is almost readable!
dc-converter.jpg : We know it's a DC-DC converter, it shouldn't be so hard to identify?

Hi
Outfits like EG&G did a *lot* of custom stuff. One off designs of racks full of gear .... very common. Once the end task was done, the equipment was scrapped out. Often the scrap out process took place quite close to Southern California (and thus into movies). Finding a spec for that sort of stuff .... not going to happen.
