Steampunk Control Panel Wallpapers

V-Switch Steampunk Control Panel  H-Switch Steampunk Control Panel

The ever so kind Mad Salvager – who is fortunate enough to get her hands on a surfeit of beautiful old switches, valves, buttons and knobs, decided to see what a decidedly Steampunk control panel might look like.  The results are glorious and it must be said that anyone who can claim to have easy access to multiple ancient looking knife switches AND voltage dials is most certainly in a better position than I!  (I was about to post a link to the only knife switch I knew where to get in the UK (from Maplin) and what a pathetic example of the genre it was – but they no longer stock it!  The world – what has it come to?)

The resultant images are quite lovely and Ms Salvager wondered if they might suit as wallpapers – you can find them in the three usual sizes in the Steampunk Wallpaper page.  Just the thing for making it look as if it’s not mere folders on your desktop!

  • Awesome items!! Give us the full lowdown along with loads of pictures when you get back.

    Beautiful knife switches can be found on eBay, for quite reasonable sums, if one is sufficiently patient. Automated (Favorite) searches are your friend. I've obtained three gorgeous units that way. One will eventually become the lightswitch for my workshop (through a suitable low voltage relay for safety). I hope to enclose the extra safety bits in a suitably steampunkish enclosure, with decor, I'll mail you some shots if I ever finish the darned project.

    Now the only thing missing is some 1280x1024 versions for those new-fangled crystal-powered contraptions...
