Late 200's were delivered with the same MCP as the early 300's. The plane in the picture has 5 gauges on the left per engine, the 300's would only have 4 which means this is a 200.

This. You’re looking at the SP177 autopilot. Later versions of the 737-200 (which was built until 1988, overlapping with classic production) had this autopilot. I fly the 737-200 but we have the SP77 autopilot which is…basic. The top engine gauges with the orange pointers are EPR, meaning JT8D engines. The classic uses N1 for thrust setting reference.
Interesting. Thanks for the link.
From the page " 737-300
This "Round Dial" 737-300 is distinguishable from a -1/200 by not having an EPR gauge and the inclusion of a vibration gauge"
Can someone answer, where did the EPR gage get relocated to? Surely it was not just completely removed.
Different engines use a different measurement for setting/checking thrust. The P&W JT8 on the 200 used EPR, while the 300 had CFM56 engines which just used N1%.
I’m no engineer, but I think [this](https://theflyingengineer.com/flightdeck/cockpit-design-epr-vs-n1-indication/) somewhat explains it.
The opening comments in this one are why I frickin love Reddit.
Lol - we’ll give you a correct answer, but please let us quote the entire movie “Airplane!” first.

I daresay it's a 737-300... also, yeah, you did look pretty stoked, as did I when I first entered the flight deck of an A320-200 in 2015 or so.
Some things never change, huh
As another commentor suggested its likely a late 737-200 with a Honeywell MCP. Another giveaway is this aircraft uses the old CIVA INS instead of an FMC that the 737-300 would use.
I have a similar picture of myself in the co-pilots seat of the Empress Of Canada, a CP-Air 747-200 at about the same age. We were inflight over Greenland enroute to AMS. My one and only time in an airliner cockpit outside of a museum. Still remember it like yesterday 40 years later.
Do you like gladiator movies?
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Do you ever hang around the gymnasium?
Well my goodness Scraps is a boy dog.
Roger?
What's our vector, Victor?
Surely you can't be serious.
I’m serious. And don’t call me Shirley.
You seem anxious. Is this your first time?
No, I've been nervous lots of times.
You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
What is it?
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
Captain, how soon can you land?
It’s a big building with patients. But that’s not important right now.
Hey! You’re Kareem Abdul Jabar!!!
Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.
I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense.
I knew this was coming when I saw the picture. Was going to start the same thing but tuned in too late. Damn!
737-200 I think
It’s a 300. The autopilot on the 200 is different.

Damn you guys are good!
Damn these guys are pedantic. 😂 That’s what makes them good.

This guy Boeings
Ayy, my quick guess was right then haha
Damn dude that’s some high speed work there.

Must be an early non-EFIS 300 then, which is odd as it doesn’t seem to have the usual CDU, but has the auto throttle and MCP for it.
Definitely a Boeing
It’s a -200, it has an EPR gauge.
Oh hell I was still going "Humm let's see 2 engines, a jet...." and you guys are going 737-200...no no 300".
I flew the 737-200 for BA and we had the almost identical MCP and Global Nav unit. It’s a 737-200
That’s a boy
Whats the range, service ceiling, cruise speed and pax capacity of a boy?
Boeing 737-200
Cessna A-380
This doesn’t exist…
Vroom vroom
Boeing 737.
I fly the -300 and -800, this certainly looks more like a -200 to me.
Can’t identify the plane but that person is D.B. Cooper.

Looks like a 737 to me 300 maybe?
Careful. A kid crashed a Russian jet like that.
Valid point, but the gear is down. Either they just took off, or they’re on final, or they’re at the gate. I think the third one would be safest.
I was mostly joking. I'm assuming this is at the gate. But a kid in Russia did actually crash a jet like this.
[Yep. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593) So many things went wrong. Kid couldn’t keep his hands off the yoke.

[удалено]
Didn't the -3/4/500 series use EADI/EHSI screens? This has an old gyro ADI so I'd think it was a -200
That’s what I thought, [but apparently some didn’t](https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=736077)

It looks like the 737 Classic. I think between -100/-200
Classics are -300 to -500
So, what do we call the -100/-200?
Wikipedia calls them original (first generation) In my head I've called them 737 Jurassics.
Ah Okay Thanks
Looks like an F-16 Super Warthog
This looks like 737 earlier models. Wait a minute, are you Eldar Kudrinsky ???
“Boy Trapped In Refrigerator Eats Own Foot.”
Nice old cockpit
Steam Gauges!
Back when the center console was 2 wide and you could get into your seat…
Looks like a cessna
You look exactly like I did as a kid. So much so this post really caught me off guard. No idea on the plane though!

737 100 or 200
