Hello,

Hi seesul,

From what I read in the B-17 erection and maintance manual this is a standard oxygen station. These stations where located through out the B-17. See picture below. Your set of gauges could come from any one of these locations.

Many thanks Micdraw!

you´re right I guess, oxygen station. Unfortunately there´s no chance to identify its position in the plane and so the former end user of this unit...

Anyway, many thanks again!
