Lockheed L-1011 TriStar cockpit engine start control panel — the overhead panel the crew used to start the TriStar's three engines. The engraved face carries ENGINE START with its rotary selector, CONTINUOUS IGNITION, GND START / ASSIST, GND START / PROBE AIR START and WINDMILL AIR START, with illuminated pushbutton annunciators including VALVE OPEN. Of all the panels on an airliner flight deck, the engine start panel is the one collectors ask for by name.

About the source of this item
From the leftover inventory of an aviation component shop that did inspection, repair and certification work. When the company closed, the remaining stock was sold at sale. That origin matters: this is not random scrap from an unknown garage, it sat in a professional aviation-parts environment. It does not mean the unit was finished, tested or released before the shop closed, and it does not mean it is approved for flight use today.
