Hello there, thanks for this video. I have two of these my late father had on display in his office, going to list on ebay soon, but I still have no idea of their value. If you see this message, I would sure appreciate any advice or info you might have for me or from anyone else in this thread. Thanks!
@@tabaks Inertial guidance was still in its relatively early stages and was very important for aircraft and missile guidance systems. I have a friend that worked on B-58 systems in the early 60s and he was required to have top secret clearance to have access to the maintenance manuals
absolutely amazing! this is some beautiful example of the peak of engineering at the time it was made. thank you for sharing! love it!
True Love & a real work of art...
Wow, I used to troubleshoot and the electronics in those Litton system. I believe those were the G200 gyros.
A truly gorgeous piece of technology. Thanks for showing
in 1971 I worked at Litton in Freiburg/Germany to evaluate the alloys properties in that gyro
holy shit ! amazing
Not gonna lie... It really looks cool when exposed.
I searched for "starfighter inertial compensator", but I guess this is close enough.
My father was Chief Scientist at Litton. I wonder if he worked on that
Do you still have this amazing instrument? Did you ever get it powered up and the gimbals rotating?
Dayum thats the real deal
How did/do they manage to rotate...with soo many cables...😱
Dear, sorry for the question. Does this navigation system belong to an Autobot or Predacon ship?
what makes me really surprised is how they arranged cables through rotational joints.
Through Slip Ring .
where u get that, i need one of those
I own the same - but produced in Germany at Litton. some details are different - must have been expensive...

You will not get your answer here, this wonderful man passed away 2 years ago
If you still have it please get in touch. I have been looking for one of these for a while now. I’ll pay $1500.00
@@theotimed2613 I'm so sorry to hear that -and for your loss. Take care
@@geddavis3234 I sold them both, but good luck in your search.
It looks like a part of gyrocompass...
Soviets might have given big bucks for that once upon a time?
Dougie Quick, why?

Shure they did! I saw a soviet inertial platform looked exactly the same inside like the LN3, not shure about what was the type.
Do you talk?
