I *think* we need more information.  The stunt box is not in the base  
of the ASR, is it?  I don't know diddle (pun intended) about model  
28's (yet), but I think the stunt box is at the rear of the typing unit.

I have a Model 28 KSR with extra "stuff" in the base, behind the  
sloping panel that's in front of the operators knees.  I think it's  
Tempest equipment, but have  not investigated yet.  Is that where some  
sort of electronic selective calling system would be put?
