As for me, I try to keep things fairly original, to include (deactivated) armament and other equipment switches. I make an exception for avionics. My center console is modern, as I have to fly in the modern airspace system. I also have a newer AI and HSI and I am in the process of installing an engine monitor system. I make that compromise because I need to be safe and preserve the airplane in a flying status as long as I can.
