Many moths ago Steve Bennett AD8CI asked to see other's setups.

Here is a photo of what I call my "teletype wall" in my radio building.

At the top left is my idle line motor control. It is usually plugged into
the top row of jacks.

The heavy wire goes to a ceiling mounted outlet. The wall wart sends 24 VAC
to the house to operate relays to control other Teletypes.

At the top right is a polar relay connected to the EIA output of a military
Dovetron. It is usually patched into the second row of jacks.

The third row is supposed to be the Autostart channel but right now is just
a loop supply in the house.

The bottom row is ITTY News for testing and exercising Teletypes. The meter
is reading backwards because of a wiring mistake in the house.


Top-center is a current meter that can be patched into any loop.

Below that and the motor control is a second patchable meter

To the right of the Green Patch Panel is a relay on the output of an IRL
FSK-1000. The dry contacts can be patched to key any otherwise unused loop.

The ethernet cable plugged into the 8-wire jack carries four loops to or
from the house.

The left barrier strip brings two loop jacks from the ceiling to the
Teletype Wall.

The right barrier strip brings current from my dual loop supply to the Test
and Repeater loops.

More to follow...
