Summary
I bought an old switch panel at a hamfest for $11 when i was 14 years old. I could not resist the lure of all of the circuit breakers placed in a perfect row with lamp indicators placed above each breaker. I had to make use of this thing, so i mounted the switch panel onto a 19 blank rack plate. I made use of the switch panel as a sort of main power distribution for my amateur radio station in high school, where each breaker controls power to an outlet. Additional features include an old-school line voltage and amperage meter. A high current EMI/RFI filter is placed in-line with the main breaker. Care was taken in dressing the wiring harnesses throughout.
