OK, simmers... It's quiz time.
See if you can identify these on the CS 727-100...

JP & Dog should know, so no credit for them! ;D

The more I fly the CS 727, the more fun I have!

Lou -

That's easy! The one on the left is the signal for the FA to bring coffee, and the on on the right is for the FA to come get the empty cups! ;)

I haven't flown the 727-100 for about 10 years. I am going to say they are the hydraulic A/B overheat warning lights?

Hint...

What is the set of lights just to the right of the mystery things???

That's a hint and a half for you guys! ;)

Those lights can be amber or green! :o

Lou -

I'll guess that the annunciator lights to the right are the *Approach Progress* display on the FO panel and the two items in question are *Marker Beacon* test lights.?

Bruce,

You are getting warm.

The two round items are photo cells that control the brightness of the approach progress display brightness.
The left one is for the captain's side and the right one the F/O's side.

If you look close to the approach progress display unit, you will see a small tab on each side at the middle.
Push one side you test amber, the other tests green.
