Circuit Man,
I dabble in collecting, like I dabble in a lot of things. I have the I-14, which is pretty much mint and was zeroed out when I bought it. I have a GE Type I, which is in terrible shape but looks neat, and a few modern meters.

Is that mess (excluding the meters obviously) actually hooked up? I've seen nasty installations here in Queens County also...and other outlying areas.

AK was built in 1998, so surely none of it would actually be hooked up, especually in the land of Lawers, Liability, Insurance, and Disney's works.

No, I would be willing to bet a fair sum that they are not live. Disney is anal about safety and cutting edge technology. So, safety aside, thes meters are too old and low tech for them to use. They are extreme sticklers for detail. As such, these units were most likely purchased at an overseas auction and imported to the States just for this attraction. Very expensive and time consuming for a basic prop that 99% of the population wouold never notice or appreciate. But, that is how serious the Disney folks are about details. Another example, the foreign cast members are never allowed to work for Disney for more than one year. That way they do not become Americanized and lose their accent/authenticity.
