A cabin announcement panel custom made by the talented team at Ruscool!
They've custom made my Avidyne Autopilot, the overhead panel, and now the cabin announcement panel. Can't wait to get this installed!
Let me second that. I needed a custom ACU for my Beech 1900. Two were built for me and the device is perfect.
+1 for Ruscool!
As well as getting the 3 intercoms, I had them make the ENG/SYS buttons and SECAL buttons - they allow for flawless backlighting.
Dean also made me up some small annunciator blocks to go inside the large Eaton pushbutton switches for the EEC controls. Its impossible to find NG ones unless you get them new for $1400 each, so i got some earlier ones from a -500. the only difference is the bottom half says INOP when lit instead of ALTN. So i cracked the switched open and measured up the annunciator blocks and had Dean make new ones with the correct text. - Absolutely perfect job!
Next i am getting them to make some ACARS printer buttons, I am replicating an OEM unit now i have a high quality thermal printer to use.

Hi Mick,
The EEC panel is very easy to find and they're pretty cheap compared to other NG panels - they price at around $300 in AR condition. Most vendors dont even service them, they are sent direct to AR inventory!
Cheers,
