Last Saturday I took some time do de-pin the cannon plug in preparation for rebuilding the CAS panel.\u00a0 This weekend I finally got around to getting that panel rebuilt and wired into the left side console harness.<\/p>\n

Here’s a few pics of the rebuilt panel assembly:<\/p>\n

The CAS panel is interesting in that it’s got a pair of magnetically held toggle switches.\u00a0 It’s essentially a relay that’s designed with a very heavy spring to keep it open unless the coil is holding it closed.\u00a0 Here’s what one looks like:<\/p>\n

\"mag-switch-1\"<\/a>Fingertip for scale. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

At some point I’ll post the little video I did that shows how the switch operates.<\/p>\n

It turns out that I may have a pretty special CAS panel.\u00a0 I noticed the manufacture date & serial number on the back of the edge-lit panel:<\/p>\n

\"cas-panel-back\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The date is November 5th, 1971 with a serial # of 2.\u00a0 This makes me think that the panel may be from one of the original test articles that MD built, but I’m not sure.\u00a0 I’ll update this post if I find out more information.<\/p>\n
