[GreenKeys] Stuntbox

Oops meant to send this to the reflector.. not just to jhaynes..

You're correct, of course.  But the question was where to get a stunt box.
That answered, next where to get either 'programable' function bars, or
those already set up for various characters.  and as I said the necessay
pawls, latches and various and sundry hardware, properly installed, to get
the result wanted.  I have various Teletype Corp manuals and some FAA
manuals on setting up some special 'stunts', but I cannot locate a booklet
(somewhere in my stash) that specifically illustrates the 'how to do it'..
My own has been set up for too many years, and with my old callsign.  Now I
gotta dig into it and make it work for the new one..  Yet another project.
But it keeps me outa bars..

Gil, W1RG
