I am working on the interior of my 737 and I noticed a module/panel on the sides of the cockpit. I believe they were done away with in the 700 and 800 versions of the 737. Anyone know what these are? If anyone has a picture I would appreciate you sending a picture with your response. Thank you

Identification

The component in your image appears to be the:
Captain's Nose Wheel Steering Tiller Panel (also called the Ground Steering Control Unit).

Function

It allows manual control of the nose wheel for taxiing on the ground.

The tiller handle (the gray lever with a blue stripe you see) is turned left or right to steer the nose wheel.

It provides fine directional control while taxiing, something the rudder pedals can't do accurately at low speeds.

Location

On 737-100/200/300/400/500 (Classics): mounted on the sidewall console just left of the captain's seat, beside the armrest.

On later 737NG (700/800/900) and MAX, Boeing redesigned and streamlined this area — the tiller was reshaped and integrated into a smoother side panel.

or i may be wrong as jackpilot say picture is blur
