[GreenKeys] AEK stuntbox??

[Ralph Irish]

​I don't know if we are dealing with full information here or not. 

TELETYPE made a device called a "Sequential Selector" which was a large percent of a printer, with the 
printing parts eliminated. It had a motor selector magnets, etc., but no way to print anything. It had the 
"Stunt Box" in the back, just as a printer does, and that can be programmed for response to certain 
sequences of incoming characters to then close a switch, ring a bell, start a device, stop a device, etc. 

In the string of messages below relating to "NOS Teletype Corp. Model 28 'Stunt Box'." we don't know 
just what is being referenced. 1. A Sequential Selector or 2. the Stnnt Box portion of a 28 printer. 

I don't want to sound like a nit picker, but there might be an important lack of detail here as we try to 
respond to the original inquiry and subsequent messages about it.

It would be interesting to see how that stunt box is programmed. It is possible that AEK is the call of the station on a private line network. If so, the function bars should have AEK programmed using selective calling..

======================================= 
Greetings and thank you for viewing my ad ! I would like to get in touch with any old teletype machine mechanics who may be able to answer a question that I have regarding a NOS Teletype Corp. Model 28 'Stunt Box'. I am an old school RTTY enthusiast and still have a very nice cast-off Western Union Model 28KSR machine as well as some parts for same. One item in particular that I seek info on is a NOS Model 28 'Stunt Box' that has a tag affixed to it with the letters "AEK", I assume this may signify what features this particular stunt box was fitted with from the factory ? I have been scouring the web for info but so far, to no avail. If you may be able to answer my questions I'd LOVE to hear from you 'old-timers', just like me ! 
Thank you very much in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer !
