[GreenKeys] 28 Printer stuntbox CR and LF options

[w9ddd at tapr.org]

I decided yesterday evening the SB was going to have to come out.  It was a AN stunt box originally.  Fortunately that one is pretty well documented.  It had been modified for auto CR LF.  Also the CR slot 5 had a LF function bar in it instead of a CR function bar.  I thought it also has the Hoff non-overline modification (swapping CR and LF function bars) but when I got to the high number slots where I would have expected to find a CR bar, it was a LF bar.  So it was set up to do CR and LF when it received a LF.  

In the process I believe I found the original problem.  It appears that some mouse excrement had dropped into slot 5 and gummed up the works.  

I was thinking  of putting my granddaughter's name in there to ring the bell when she types her name if I find all the letters for OLIVIA.

I have to think about what to do with the CR and LF slots.  Leave a LF bar in both as it is, put a CR bar in slot 5 to get "factory", or put CR in the normal LF slot and have the non-overline feature.
