[GreenKeys] Idle Line Motor control

[Jason]

Is that what this thing is? It was found inside the pedestal of the "LESU-less" Model 28 I picked up from WB6AZP (thanks again John!) I haven't yet had the opportunity to open it up and see whats inside.

You need a box commonly used in the days of yore called an "Idle 
Line Motor Control". Pulse Com was one manufacturer that comes to 
mind, but there were many otjhers.

It simply monitors a current loop for actiivity, and after sensing 
none for a predetermined amount of time, shuts off power to the 
machine.

As soon as it senses even the slightest keying on the loop, it turns 
on the motor and keeps it running until the next idle period exceeds 
the setting programmed into it, and poof, it shuts the motor off 
again.

I have two or three of them around here somewhere, and it's almost a 
certainty that collectors of "stuff" like Jack Hart or Don House 
probably have some sequestered somewhere in their massive piles of 
"Stuff".

I'll look around here today.
