Can any one help out please , I am wanting to recreate the power supply box that sits on the left hand side of a B17 Sperry A1 upper turret.

These are the dimensions of the top turret control panel from Lone Star Flight Museum's B-17G "Thunderbird".

I don't know what the model top turret is, I doubt it is any kind of early one. I'll be happy to email pictures if you want to PM me your email address.

Control Panel: 8-3/8" X 2-1/16", mounted to a housing approx size: 10-1/16" X 3-5/8"
