A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

Group,
A couple of years ago, I purchased a PT-19 to restore.
When I emptied out the hanger, I found this instrument panel and I am trying to ID the type aircraft it came from.

I don't know the type however it looks like it has instruments from different eras (1925 to 1935?)
That mag switch is correct for a friend's restoration if it is for sale.

dtpitcairn,
I had narrowed the panel down to pre WW II, based on instrumet design, but can not ID aircraft type.
At first I thought it may be a Stearman panel, since the owner also had a stearman, but no go.
I have been through most pre-war aircraft I can think of, but still have not been able to ID the panel.
The last owner had quite a collection of aviation artifacts (P-3 halmets, with original artwork, Stearman, Unk rudder with Red/Wht stripes, ect....).
I would prefer not to part out the panel, at least until I know what aircraft it goes to.
Thanks

Is that a throttle in the middle? If so it makes me think that it may be from some late 20's/early 30's radial-engined high wing plane with side by side seating. Monocoupe, perhaps? Kari Keen Coupe? Taylor Chummy?
Just brainstorming here...
