Boeing 727 Throttle Progress
I started this project because I wasn't satisfied with commercial offerings and the fact that no one builds a 727 throttle. Had I been able to afford a real 727 quadrant, I might have bought that and modified it instead, but that wouldn't be half as much fun...

This photo below is the latest. I temporarily assembled most of it to mark the locations of the 23 screws for which I had to drill and countersink into the housing. It will be dis-assembled again for continuing work on the linkage and wiring.

Hi,
Have a 727 TQ with center pedestal housing. Picked it up a few years back at a local boneyard. It's been partially disassembled, but should be able to gather up all the pieces.
It needs some TLC. A friend and neighbor who was a machinist was going to work on it, but saddly he passed away unexpectedly two years back and now it just sits there. If you're interested can send down some pics.
