Just under Chewie’s blue static discharge is another BPC unit, this one is on its side pointing down – that makes 5 units.

A couple of very interesting adverts from the early 1950s.
Note: It controls acceleration… and engine efficiency.

A glass bell from the Coughtrie lights in the corridor. I’ve listed it separately as it isn’t being used as a light. Maybe more of these on the Falcon’s underside.
It’s possible that the fixing ring is upside down here.

Four Lucas Barometric Pressure Control units, designed by Richard Ifield. Funnily enough, these units would actually be the first thing you would want to twiddle (or wack with a spanner) to get the engines firing again. The nearest left side unit is the right way up, the one at the back is upside-down, and in reverse order for the right side wall.

Very cool, calm and collected there Chris. Great presentation!
It’s always best to let the neighbours know that the giant spaceship is from fans and not exactly from a galaxy far far away….

Rodney Kinsman, for his ‘OMK’ brand of furniture, was quite influential in ANH’s seating arrangments – including some very popular pieces such as the Tractor Stool, Omstak stacking chairs and Overmann lounge chairs. They are from the late 1960s to early 70s, with the Omstak having been in production for more than 30 years, so there should be some…[Read more]

Telegono lamp base, by Vico Magistretti. Seen in the kitchen and dining area of the Lars homestead but I also think one is sat behind the seated area in the ANH Falcon, though I will have to find a better ‘behind the scenes’ photo to be 100% sure.

One half of a mid 1960′s Harvey Guzzini Sirio Lamp. Sits on top of the ANH Falcon’s navcom ejection seat. Still looking for the ESB version but I thought this was quite interesting, as ‘Space 1999′ has Guzzini’s other well known lamp.

On the far left on the lower panel. Spot the difference time – just after Luke gets picked up the part doesn’t seem to be attached, a few mins later, there it is.
The part has been known for quite some time as […]

As described on partsofsw.com/v8parts.htm – the ‘cylinder head cap’. Another part just forward of the console on Chewie’s side.

The mid-1970′s MGB choke handle is found just front of the console on Chewie’s side. It’s ment to represent an engine primer as would be found in a Hawker Hurricane, etc. It even sits approximately where you […]

…though I may have been thinking about the reversed clip, as the Princess says to Chewie “open the hatch” to grab the dangling Luke.
So just the one switch paddle.
grrr, reversed scenes lol

So far, two red paddles from the front of an IMSAI 8080 switchboard in the ESB cockpit. One on Chewie’s side and, I think, a similar greeblie set up on Han’s side.

I had previously thought that these boxes were part of the Teleflex system, possibly the inertia reel motors, but better pictures come along, now and then, and totally baffle me.
But it would seem that these […]
