Hi all

Just picked up this turret control today in among my Anson project. I'm no expert on turret controls but it does not look like the B-24 or other types that I'm used to seeing around the place. Anyone able to ID?

There are three little spirit levels on the base. No manufacturer is visible on the unit but there is a number of A-9541 on one side

Cheers

Ewan
