   I've purchased correct Jones plugs and sockets on ebay.   
   You have an ambitious project.  I'm sure it could be done with solid state   
   devices but it might need a lot of testing to get the timing issues right.    
   The interaction between the wallbox which sends a series of pulses, the   
   receiver (stepper) which    
   transcribes the pulses into a selection, and the jukebox which appears to do a   
   number base conversion, are pretty impressive.  I purchased a model 1725-8   
   stepper with the idea of modifying it to work as a 1717.  I discovered it to   
   be more difficult than    
   I anticipated so when I found a 1719 available, I modified it to a 1717   
   configuration.  At one point I thought would write out a detailed description   
   of how it all works but haven't  yet.  Have you decided how you want to   
   proceed?
