Original Flight Hardware: Central Electronics Complex



So, the assembly of components above is somewhat my first approach to the instrument heads found on the L-1011 pedestal. These instruments would be located right after the throttle quadrant. What is not shown in the picture are the trim instruments that are also part of the center pedestal.



The image below shows the location for the Communications radios using the VHF band. They are identified as VHF1, VHF2 and VHF3. I added a 4096 Transponder to it and the head for the WX Radar. The WX Radar panel is actually a Boeing 747 WX Radar controller. I included two Navigation radios (labeled NAV1 and NAV2). In the bottom right hand corner I have a dual ADF radio head. There is an amplifier/radio selector for the pilot and the first officer.



The next two images show how the individual radio heads could be cabled into the selector panels for both the captain and the first officer.
