I have a Picker Pictronic 500 in working order in Coral Springs, Fl. It has the green color console, the big transformer, table and xray tube with rolling wall bracket. Send me an email if interested, I can send you pictures.

Thank you so much for having posted the pictures. I live in Texas and would never be able to see the inside of this building, otherwise. It is too bad that this and other wonderful old buildings have been allowed to fall into such disrepair. I have always been in the electrical construction business and have seen many buildings inside and out. I have worked on some very old houses and buildings. (I am pretty old, myself.) I have seen construction codes change dramatically over the years. I especially notice the lighting, but I am also interested in the general construction. Again, to all of you urban explorers out there, thank you for your troubles.

Edward,
It appears as though you brought your very own baggage along when you tried teaching at Bennett. The President of the college was actually a quiet, unassuming guy and there were no more "self-serving" faculty members than one would find in any college anywhere.
I think most of the people who are willing to offer comments here are expressing their opinions about a great architectural structure being allowed to fall into dismal ruin and certainly not the vindictive assault of one
"unhappy camper."

We were talking about EF a few weeks ago and I decided to go online to see what ever became of it since I was there in the mid 60's as a child. These photos and others I've seen online are both fascinating and depressing. I am planning on taking my grandson to Clarks Farm this summer to see the restored items since the original EF is no more which would have been a blast to take him to. I guess they're right, you really can't go home again.

This is definitely a US navy SOA or SO-3 Radar Unit. We have one exactly like it on the USS PT658 in Portland Oregon. I even can tell you what the switches are for. Underneath the PPI Display (the round window) is the Clockwise/Counterclockwise rotation toggle. I have been working on our unti to try and mock up a little rotating cursor and internal light as well as some "radar sounds" for when we display the PT Boat. Just FYI this is very definitely not SONAR! Jerry
