I would love to find an aircraft graveyard for the pilfering of awesome instrumentation and switch gear.

I see accuracy in reporting is alive and well. From the article linked above:
Unbeknownst to either pilot, however, was that one of the airstrips at Gimli – where the plane would eventually land – had become a drag racing strip where crowds had collected with their campers along the runway to watch go-cart races that day.

Accurate, just not complete. The main straight of the roadrace track is an NHRA dragstrip.

High Beam switch, a foot starter would only have 2 wires.

Foot starters are momentary switches, high beams are Double Clicks as shown above.
