>Well... Just for reference, the Burroughs machines were very popular with

>the show "Lost In Space" as the flight consoles on the bridge of the
>"Jupiter 2" spaceship

If that is the case, some of the old "Lost in Space" fan produced books
might be able to help you reproduce the console. I've seen a couple of
them that had VERY detailed diagrams in them of all the panels on the
Jupiter 2.

>(can't spell that) of the show for only $7500US.
