I have a co-worker who visited the traveling Star Trek exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution a number of years ago. They were displaying surviving sets & props from the original show. According to my co-worker, he sat in Capt. Kirk's bridge chair. The controls on the chair's arms consisted of glued-on shirt buttons. Most everything else was made out of painted-over plywood. Or so I've been told, anyway. I didn't see it myself: so I can't vouch for the veracity of this story.
