Indicators
1950s GAL indicators consist of a panel with numbers cut in it, with light bulbs behind the numbers, like most indicators of the time. It is possible that indicators were not originally options. It is unknown if lanterns were an option.
1970s-2020
There are 2 types of panels. Jet Plus, now known as Jet II (basic fixtures shipped within 4 weeks), and B-Series (custom fixtures). Different buttons can be mounted on these panels.
As of May 2020, GAL is no longer manufacturing their own fixtures, so that means the Jet II and B-Series fixtures have been discontinued. They now have a partnership with MAD Elevator, the North American division of DMG S.p.A of Italy, to distribute their fixtures through Vantage Elevator Solutions. They are still selling replacement parts though.
