Does anyone have any idea how these controls were made? I have a feeling that they're both scratch-built, but I can't be 100% sure. Any ideas?

I do believe they're called Quadrant Faders

and this helpful side view should help

Small update but a friend in the UK visited Bob's Bits for me!

Are there any markings or labels on the keyboard? Something to make it easier to identify or google?
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

Bob's Bits play their cards close to their chest. - Curses! I was hopping for a serial number and a manufacturer. £70.00 each  is a little steep - It would be nice if we could google a less expensive solution.

Pretty sure they were about half that a year or two ago. Kicking myself now, but you do seem to need to go in person and I haven't had the opportunity.

With regards to him getting back to you, they don't seem that good. I tried ordering one of the SA pieces for the Tennant console and went to pay for it and got a message saying that they had to email me back to confirm being able to order it, and I've not Hurd back, that was about a month ago....So I don't know what's going on

To be fair he may not know at all. Sometimes you collect parts that you have no idea whet brand etc they are.

Sometimes a serial number only goes so far. I spent some time looking up the dials since I need 4 and came up empty.

My whole bucket cost me $170USD which is not bad considering!

I will probably cast the slow Fader and a few other parts due to their rarity.

Having a friend go in was a big big help to get all my items.

I know its blurry I will get a better shot for sure.

It is a METAL Keyboard and from the US! So it explains the cost!

Via google fu looks like Empros was bought by Siemens back in 1993.

I found miniature versions of the vertical quick-release toggle clamps on eBay, and for a cheap price as well. ;D

They're close 14th but not quite. I think.

Hello!

I'm just putting it out there cause i came across it last night but i haven't seen anyone else talk about it yet so here goes, It seems the lever when pulled down 2 lights light up and when pushed up they go off, i have a few screen grabs i got In hell bent you can see them better, but in Doctor mysterio, it seems only 1 was working it might be cause nardole had 1 lever up or something not sure, or just a faulty bulbScreen Shot 2017-03-19 at 14.51.52.pngScreen Shot 2017-03-19 at 14.37.31.pngScreen Shot 2017-03-19 at 14.37.31 2.png

Edit,
I was watching robots of sherwood and at the end the doctor pulls 1 lever and lights stay off, so some scenes there off some are onScreen Shot 2017-03-21 at 01.11.46.png
