Trottle pedestal and controls anyone build a facsimile?

A marketplace of B-17 parts...where to find them, where to sell them, where to trade them, where to build them.

Looking to see if anyone builds a trottle control unit, pedestal, and instrument for display? Looking to build or purchase one for den.

We are in the slow-build process for our throttle quadrants.
You looking for a static, or one with all the pieces and parts.

What model/serial number are you trying to recreate?

I would like one with all the parts, at least play around with trottle. Sorry it took so long to answer, had my foot operated on.

You should contact me via email, and we can discuss more.

There are A LOT of parts in a complete quadrant, and unless you
plan on using it in a real B-17 or simulator, it is less expensive
to fit it out for a display.

I built one, but would not know how to really price how much mine cost to build
