Here is a fairly good view of the center instrument panel.  As on the 727, you can see the weather radar and the two navigation radio controls.  The engine instruments only come in pairs here since the 737 only has two engines. :)
The two black things to the left of the landing gear lever is the anti-lock brake disconnects.
In the center of the glareshield is the autopilot control panel, an navigation selection system controls.


First Officer's side.  At least *this* yoke has the clipboard panel intact.  You will also notice that the yoke is a mirror image of the one on the Captain's side.  All things considered, this CPT is in pretty good shape considering it's over 30 years old.


To the right of the WX display and under the right hand nav radio is the HF radio control, OR the transponder control.  I can't remember which it is. :)  The upper portion of the throttle quadrant is also visible.
As it happens, a transformation of sorts recently took place in the Shop of Dreams.  My friend Scott and Robbi turned a mangled 727 throttle quadrant into a 737 throttle quadrant.  Judging from this picture and what I saw them do, it turned out pretty well, didn't it? :)
