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! NOTE: This is currently located in Belgium, so shipping to the USA would require international shipping charges.
Please email me if you need additional photos or information.
——————- PAYMENT —————– Payment should be made within 7 business days at the end of the auction unless buyer contacts me for other arrangements. I accept all forms of payment.
——————- SHIPPING —————– My goal is to ship within 7 days from auction end. However, depending on circumstances, it may take up to an additional 1 week from receipt of confirmed payment. If you need it shipped sooner, please let me know and I will do our best to accommodate.
——————- TERMS OF SALE —————– Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase.
——————- ABOUT ME —————– Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
——————- COPYRIGHT —————– All pictures and descriptions used in my auctions under COPYRIGHT and I forbid the use of these photos and information in any manner such as paper or electronic (internet) publications or otherwise. Use is solely based on my authorization only.
