When attending the 2010 Vintage Bus Exhibit, I noticed that the left-hand large dial on the Nova LFSA instrument panel actually contained 4 separate gauges, but I could not get close enough to see the details.
Does anyone know what instruments are contained in this dial?
Also, do the Novas have retarders?
If so, do they have retarder enable switches?
What brand(s) of operator seats are used?

novalfsa gauges on the left side of the dash are 2 air gauges ( primary and secondary ) and 2 gauges for electrical voltage. the retarder is always on and the mta had crummy mci seats installed for the operators instead of the comfortable seat that would have come with the bus.
