WWII/Late P-47 Throttle Quadrant

Now listed on E-bay
For Sale-
Late WWII Throttle Quadrant- Made by Aero Supply in PA. Same as P-47 in every way except large rectangular throttle handle with PTT and water injection switch in the Throttle handle. I can't find an assy P/N so I cannot confirm what exact model this is for. It could be very late P-47N or M but at the very least would have controlled a WWII Fighter with a single engine, large horsepower and water injection.
This quadrant Consists of a Blower selector which interfaces with Throttle handle w/spring clips and will move either direction with the Throttle. Throttle Selector. Propeller selector which interfaces w/throttle when Throttle pushed forward. Mixture selector. Throttle has an adjustable stop which is spring loaded and can be pivoted off to the inside to advance throttle to extreme high power settings.
The condition of this item is Good. It has been on the shelf for the last 50+ years and shows a few scrapes and light scuffs. Every thing works with the exception of the water injection switch and the throttle stop casting which is cracked where it interfaces with the cross rods. The crack does not show for a static display but would need a close tolerance weld repair to be made airworthy. The water injection switch lacks a detent and travels back and forth but will not stay in the Off or On position.
Includes the 4 bolts and nuts which secured it into the aircraft.
