Boom Box Controls
Love the giant A, Z, and Call buttons here.
Look at the minimalist four lights display. Interesting patina on the larger display dials too.
Not sure how/why some of the bulbs burned through the plastic buttons...
Only visible by opening the dishwasher.
Yes, that's me in the reflection. Sigh.
These controls are for someone outside the elevator to control it, not the person inside. Thus the key is necessary to enable this.
Spotted at a construction site at SFO. This is on a large rectangular box the size of a car.
Love the "Maximum Time" button, since that's probably what most people do most of the time when parking at a meter.
Be sure to view this photo in Flickr to see all the controls detailed out. Very cool.

Switches that lock down jail cells. West Virginia State Penitentiary, Moundsville, West Virginia.
Photographer says: "These are the controls of the toilet in a restaurant in Ginza. Most of the toilets in Tokyo are remote-controlled. You can control the strength of the splashing water. I even saw one with a "flushing sound" button."
No idea what this is, but look at how the fixed points of the dial link to (handwritten?) labels via lines.

"Korg EA-1 Mk II analog modeling synthesizer. Portamento is how quickly it changes pitch so you can play it like a piano or make it sound like a siren. The rest is for the two oscilloscopes and the type of each and how they interact with each other (modulation). Also can patch in the audio in, instead of Osc 1."
What does the button marked with the handicapped icon do? And the repeat button? And the numbers below each of the buttons? And the unused buttons? What a mess.
I love the labels on the tuner: Vatican, E. Germany, W. Germany, etc. Note that they indicate a small range, not just a fixed point.
Is there any place left that doesn't have a control panel??
This interface, since travelers won't know the stations or their frequency in a new city, makes perfect sense.
Love the instructions with cute icons.
Interesting there needs to be an "available" light, that the control panel isn't just unlit.
Seen on the back of a welder's truck. This is a "multipurpose, engine-driven welder/generator" for "HEAVY duty welding and arc gouging and can stand up to the toughest job."
Groovy indeed.
Is it me, or is this display really confusing?
Is this a button or a switch? A switch would make more sense, because you could push it forward for front-wheel drive and back for rear-wheel drive.
"Press Product Button to Begin." Wouldn't "Choose Dollar Amount" (like the other instructions say) be better directions?
