Its what ever those one is. I can say that it had not been out in 31 years. The radio I don't think has ever been out. The tape deck still works too.

its vacuum operated no electrical parts other than the blower. The fan selector works fine its the vacuum selector that I think is messed up. If the panel was available I would replace it. And that hopefully would be the end of it but as soon as you go from vent to floor it immediately goes to defrost.

the vacuum switch screws on the back of the panel, and the position lever goes into it selection the position with a push pull motion.
sorta like an ignition switch under the steering column.

It is replaceable, the only reason I swapped the whole thing on mine is because my selector ribs were worn down and it wouldn't stay in position, that and the broken stud on the back.
