Android Machine Control Panels

Android machine control panels from Lost in Space. (CBS-TV. 1965-68). Two slender, electrically wired panels with various rocker and dial switches, identified at the top as "Long Range Radar Inputs". Measuring 30 in. x 4.5 in., these panels were used variously throughout the Lost in Space sets, and were originally acquired from the U.S. Air Force. Probably best remembered as part of the Intergalactic Department store machine seen in "The Android Machine". In that episode, Dr. Smith ordered an android simply by pushing a few buttons.
