Dah, Aviatorski alzo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think I've probably seen those in some MIGs on static display at various SoCal Airshows a couple of times since the `60's - well no Migs til the `80's - but don't recall picking one out as such specifically, on their panels.

Which model & era MIG is it out of?

Very cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Frankly, I think he needs the Attitude Indicator first - judging by his pic above! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I couldn't say for sure it was made in the late 60s I'm sure there are quite a few models it could have been used with

Funny you mentioned an Altimeter! I have one I carry in the Porsche. Do you have an aircraft compass? Got one of those too. Broke my air speed indicator in a vertical climb, spin, and stall at 25,000 feet in the 914! OH! Was that the nightmare the other night?L)L!!

Seriously, I do have a WWII compompass installed in the the 914 and have a Altimeter in the Glove Box. Now I NEED THE CLOCK/TIMER!

Love Aviation stuff

Last year I saw a 747 clock on ebay. It came from N502UP. I thought it looked familiar so I checked back in my log book and I had flown that very airplane. Like a dummy I didn't buy it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I've seen the MIG clocks sometimes on ebay as well.

UPS eh?

Must have been nice flying cargo instead of passengers. A package can't complain when you drop on to the runway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I love these old military clocks.

Attached Image

I have several in my collection including a Swiss-made Jaeger LeCoultre Chronograph:

Attached Image

It was built for the Russian military in the 1930's
(who would have thought they could afford it?)
& you see them in eBay every once in a while:

Attached Image Attached Image

This chronograph, in it's original Swiss version, is
sometimes found in elegant & expensive touring cars
in the 1930's, like John Mozart's 1937 Alfa Romeo's
8C 2900B Touring Spyder (a Pebble Concours winner):

Attached Image

And also some post-war rally cars!

***
The OP's piece looks terrific & seems to be a Russian-made
(Wostok) version of a Swiss Jaeger LeCoultre 'Chronoflite'.
It was used in the Mig 15 (Korean War era) & beyond.
You can see an early version on this Mig 15 cockpit:

It is more common & affordable to purchase that the earlier Swiss made Jaegers:

How did you get a black widow in your shift knob? Asking because I want one with a grasshopper. Sorry, it's off the topic.

I thought I already said that!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

"An attitude indicator (AI), also known as gyro horizon or artificial horizon or attitude director indicator (ADI, when it has a Flight Director), is an instrument used in an aircraft to inform the pilot of the orientation of the aircraft relative to Earth's horizon"

They used to sell those cast resin knobs with Black Widows, etc. for VWs etc. back in the 1960's & 70's & were sorta common on Meyers Manxs & Dune Buggies too.

You could probably custom mold one with a Grasshopper for yours, & then use a strong adhesive to mount it to a proper metal mounting collar from another old used 914 shift knob at reasonable cost.
