747-400 tq

[the mad hatter]

gentlemen; I have searched the forum but to no avail it seems most comments instructions apply to either the 1,2 or 300 Tqs so I welcome your advise.  

I have been most fortunate to be able to purchase the above it has the following with it: (I figure most of you know where it came from from but "Mums" the word ;-)

Throttle Quad cage
Thrust levers, clutchpack and AT gearbox
Thrust lever sensor mounting rig
Spoiler and flap levers with lightplates
Fuel cutoff panel with correct OEM switches  and lightplates
Microswitch assembly
Asile stand box with OEM Dzus rails
Spoiler/spd brake no-back assembly with 28VDC actuator (try getting this anywhere!)
All outputs from TQ line tested and labled
Note: Reverser interlocks not included

I am going to have it shipped to Phil directly so that he can fabricate the reverse interlockers for it and make he like new. :-)

Now I think this is really the crown jewel in the office (software excluded),

I would like to have it motorised and functioning per the design basis aircraft.
Therefore could anyone point in the general direction of how this is done ( it seems stepper motors are the norm). What would be a normal pricing to have it motorised by a third party (I am in the States) or who could I go to that has a proven record in this area? (I would like my TQ back)

Can it be interfaced with FDS borads at the same time ready for PSX I assume the PS1.3 TQ and PSX will be the same? would be safe to undertake this?

Have I failed to ask an intelligent question or have I not not considered something once again thank you
