I believe the connector you're looking for is a Hoffman lightplate power connector. Here's one on E-bay right now...<BR>

As for the operation of various switches, if you're in the USA, you oughtta be able to get the flight manuals on CD from <A href="http://www.flight-manuals-on-cd.com/F15.html">http://www.flight-manuals-on-cd.com/F15.html</A> -- though I'm not sure if the AN/APG-63's control panel functions would be covered in the Dash One...<BR>

I've had an F-15 radar panel lightplate sitting around for a while. It's identical to the one in the cockpit diagram scanned from the manual on Gene's website. I'd kind of like to use it in a sim someday. The thing is, it has a little gold connector on the back for 5vdc power, it looks sort of like a mini RCA jack. I gotta ask, Gene where the heck can I find something that will mate with this?<BR><BR>I'm also kind of curious about the actual operation of the panel. Some of the switches are self-explanatory, like RANGE, EL SCAN, AZ SCAN, POWER (but what does the EMERG position do?) What the heck is FRAME STORE and how does the MODE CONTR switch function?<BR><BR>
