It is complete and all switches seem to be functional. It has been modified to incorporate a plate with a clamp to secure maps or check-lists and a plastic overlay over the plate to protect the logo that identifies it as a C-141 control wheel. This 1/8 inch plastic overlay has a crack in it as shown by the red arrow in photo # 4 at the top of the overlay but it is held in place by 3 screws.
