B-29 Engineers panel photos wanted

I’m looking for some good photos of B-29 engineers panels.
The best i have so far are these:

If anyone has any better ones, i would really appreciate it if you could post them or send them to me.
I need good photos of the left side (as the engineer looks at it) mainly.

Thanks,

Keith.

Thanks very much:)
Thats a strange mag switch panel, not seen one like that before. Maybe its to changed due to the new custom engines.

We changed it out of necessity when we hung the new engines. Going from a high tension ignition system to a low tension system required a different switch.

Sorry for the late reply Graham. If you don’t mind, i would really like those scans. Its the mag switch area (upper left side of panel) i need photos of the most.

Thanks,

Keith.
