2-47-I-N-4..........CONSOLIDATED B-32 DOMINATOR BOMBER MAG SWITCH.....Another one of those 'wow' items you find from time to time, this is a brand new old stock Joseph Pollak mag switch from the obscure Consolidated B-32 Dominator 4 engine bomber.......if you haven't read the history of these planes, google them...... The B-32 was the 'back-up' to the B-29 just in case Boeing's marvelous design failed!....the B-32 used the same huge Wright R-3350's as the Boeing, but it was a far less ambitious project....here is the incredible '4-in-1' mag switch that operated all 4 engines and had a master 'kill' switch.......this mag is brand new still in the wrapping (part of the original box is missing)........new old stock condition, std 3 and 1/8" dia mount......SOLD |
