[GreenKeys] stunt boxes

[wa2hwj@att.net]

Henry,
There's a lot of 28 typing units out there with full stuntboxes.
Quite often there is a second connector on the sideframe, in some
cases it is larger than the standard one. I would guess that
most of the loaded stuntboxes were from 83B3 machines. If your
machine is "stock", it might have two push buttons on the
right of the keyboard. These were the BID and ALARM indicators
for the 83B3 system. That stuntbox is putting a pretty heavy
load on the machine's codebars...
