Description
This switch box was the main operation which controlled the release and timing of the on-board bombs. It was mounted to the bottom of the Me262 instrument panel. Made of wood, aluminum and steel, this ZSK assembly is in SUPERB condition for it’s age, and is EASILY the BEST I have seen! It retains 95% of it’s original RLM66 cockpit paint, as well as all hand-written electrical labels. All data on the main box is clearly legible on the front, indicating ZSK244 A-2, Fl. 50869. It remains attached to the original late-war wood mounting bracket, which identifies it (along with the electrical codes) as originating from an Me262. The upper horizontally mounted indicators were to indicate the release of the wing-mounted rockets (if installed). Though there are some marks, scratches, and dirt build-up due to the age, it is still a SOLID example! Mechanically functional. I have indicated it’s location on in the Me262 A-2 cockpit in the last photo. Removed from a war-time Me262 fighter, it is an EXTRAORDINARILY rare item, and would make for a SUPERB centerpiece! An EXCELLENT addition to any collection, display or restoration project!
