MPN11, what an iconic piece of kit is your "typical Controller Console as used in RAF Area Radar Units in the 1960 - 1990 period. One can attempt ( and probably fail!) to sort the various additions and mods that it attracted in those years; by style, colour, and technology. One can see how the hue of the original subtlety changed. Was that by revised standards, ageing effects, or simply layers of nicotine?
Would it not have been at home in a miniaturised version in an episode of Thunderbirds? I can also see a chap wearing a dinner plate sized hat feeling similarly at home, and adding further to the knee wear in some Soviet bunker or other. As I say, iconic.
