I have several panels from the Apollo firing rooms full of these – when they are all lit they heat up the room quickly. I can share photos (somehow) if you'd like to see them lit up.
Love the videos and the guitar.. f 1 rocket is my favorite
I have several of those indicators. Also have some of the lighted panel rectangular push button switches that were common on those control panels. Like you, I love that old era stuff! Thanks for sharing.
I was an aircraft mechanic back in the seventies and the birds we worked on had a lot of Roto-Tellites in the cockpit.
Just saw a really good lecture about the Apollo guidance computer that i recommend. Search for: Light years ahead | The apollo guidance computer.
Would it be possible to make retro looking 7 segment displays using the COB 'filaments' of modern LED light-bulbs?
A simulated Nixie tube that uses LEDs?
Most of the Apollo-era tech seemed to come out of California.
Very retro. Love it!
Ecom Go, flight.

Houston, the Christmas tree is green.
Should have run it at the full 12Volts!
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼
They would use those to indicate go/no-go status, the colours for each being fairly obvious. The assorted flight controllers would get their indications from telemetry, then, when asked by the mission director, they would toggle a go/no-go indication for their system on the mission director console. This way everyone could tell at a glance how their assorted systems are performing.
