Bought this for peanuts on EBay out of curiosity..
There seems to be an electrical contact (arrow) under each of the 4 top flaps.
Anyone knowing how it works?

Looks like a Transponder Radio Panel..
It certainly looks like a transponder from a boeing.
Buy that from james-buffy by any chance? ;-)
I can't open the photo on my iPhone, but if it's what I think it, it's an old trip encoder.
it may be a Selcal panel from an old boeing

Gez...No I never bought/will buy from him. I can do my own buying direct!!
I think it is a trip encoder
Mike? what is a trip encoder
Jack, indeed I won't buy from him either! Just saw one he listed a couple of months back.
And Mike knows his stuff when it comes to things like this.
Thanks for your confidence folks. ;)
Yes it is a trip encoder/reminder. When used or ordered, it was usually installed above the WX radar on the 727.
I do not know if it was for a rudementary ACARS system or the flight data recorder, or if it was even interconnected to these systems at all. It may have just been a convenience for the crew so they didn't forget their trip number while using the radios.
