Mooney M20J throttle quadrant question

[Bill]

All of the M20J's Ive seen personally and in pics show Cessna like push/pull knobs for the throttle, prop, and mixture. We're looking at an M20J that has a Piper like throttle quadrant for the three controls. Was this a factory option? Something that was offered only on certain years? Something aftermarket cobbled on?

It was stock setup from, I think, the '69F through the '77J.

Nice year by year feature summary of the 201's.

Note that these are factory changes. Many of the later features are available by STC and can be found on earlier models.

Bill, Glad to hear you're looking at Mooneys too. I'd hoped I didn't scare you off. Here's a link that gives a good summary of the J evolution. www.mooneyevents.com/201hist.xls
The push pull controls come with the 78 and later models.

My partner originally wanted to go with a Cherokee Six, but potential overhaul costs have pushed him in a good direction, towards Mooney!
