Power Distribution & Filtering Panel

Summary

I bought an old switch panel at a hamfest for $11 when i was 14 years old.  I could not resist the lure of all of the circuit breakers placed in a perfect row with lamp indicators placed above each breaker.  I had to make use of this thing, so at age 16 I mounted the switch panel onto a 19 blank rack plate.  I made use of the switch panel as a sort of main power distribution for my amateur radio station in high school, where each breaker controls power to an outlet.  Additional features include an old-school line voltage and amperage meter.   A high current EMI/RFI filter is placed in-line with the main breaker.  Care was taken in dressing the wiring harnesses throughout.
