Electrical panel ID, please

[Larrythepilot]

Our museum President was intrigued with an electrical panel he came up in our parts storage room. He has spent a lot of time cleaning it up, and taken numerous pictures. Now we would really like to know where the panel comes from, and what it does. Fortunately, there are several legible numbers. 8 pictures attached. Thanks for your help with this new item. .....

The Ln.26992 is the antenna connector for coaxial cable used for the connection and connector plugs of an antenna cables (coaxial cables) for radio devices. The Ln number indicates a WW2 German one. The entire panel seems to be a radio antenna switch or a distribiution box.

Yep .... the panel ( Verteilerkasten VK ) isn't noticed mostly because it was mounted behind the chassis of the FuG16Z series and FuG17 and other radio devices that required switching between two or more antenna systems for different frequencies ( e.g. radio voice communication and direction finder ) . The radio sets were used for different planes so it could be of Bf 109G or Me 262 for instance.

This post is primarily for Wurger, since he was the person who identified this electrical panel for our museum. Now you can see what it looks like further cleaned up, somewhat straightened, and mounted on a display fixture, with an explanatory sign. I'm not sure how excited museum visitors will be to view this item, but we believe it is important to preserve and show the items we have. The picture was taken on a workbench in my shop at home. Thanks, Wurger.

Great result with detail from Wurger!
Just as an illustration, here is a photo of my original relic directional antenna of the FuG 16ZY from a Bf 109 G. The steel aerial loop is corroded.
