Dah, Aviatorski alzo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I think I've probably seen those in some MIGs on static display at various SoCal Airshows a couple of times since the `60's - well no Migs til the `80's - but don't recall picking one out as such specifically, on their panels. Which model & era MIG is it out of? Very cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

I couldn't say for sure it was made in the late 60s I'm sure there are quite a few models it could have been used with

Funny you mentioned an Altimeter! I have one I carry in the Porsche. Do you have an aircraft compass? Got one of those too. Broke my air speed indicator in a vertical climb, spin, and stall at 25,000 feet in the 914! OH! Was that the nightmare the other night?L)L!!
Seriously, I do have a WWII compompass installed in the the 914 and have a Altimeter in the Glove Box. Now I NEED THE CLOCK/TIMER! Love Aviation stuff Steve hurt A&P FAA Licensed |

Last year I saw a 747 clock on ebay. It came from N502UP. I thought it looked familiar so I checked back in my log book and I had flown that very airplane. Like a dummy I didn't buy it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I've seen the MIG clocks sometimes on ebay as well.

I love these old military clocks.
I have several in my collection including a Swiss-made Jaeger LeCoultre Chronograph: It was built for the Russian military in the 1930's (who would have thought they could afford it?) & you see them in eBay every once in a while: *** This chronograph, in it's original Swiss version, is sometimes found in elegant & expensive touring cars in the 1930's, like John Mozart's 1937 Alfa Romeo's 8C 2900B Touring Spyder (a Pebble Concours winner): And also some post-war rally cars! *** The OP's piece looks terrific & seems to be a Russian-made (Wostok) version of a Swiss Jaeger LeCoultre 'Chronoflite'. It was used in the Mig 15 (Korean War era) & beyond. You can see an early version on this Mig 15 cockpit: It is more common & affordable to purchase that the earlier Swiss made Jaegers: Saludos, Eduardo Scottsdale, AZ but currently in NJ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) * |

How did you get a black widow in your shift knob? Asking because I want one with a grasshopper. Sorry, it's off the topic.

How did you get a black widow in your shift knob? Asking because I want one with a grasshopper. Sorry, it's off the topic. They used to sell those cast resin knobs with Black Widows, etc. for VWs etc. back in the 1960's & 70's & were sorta common on Meyers Manxs & Dune Buggies too. You could probably custom mold one with a Grasshopper for yours, & then use a strong adhesive to mount it to a proper metal mounting collar from another old used 914 shift knob at reasonable cost.
