56 ..... Military
Signal Corps J-37 Telegraph Key |
This key is a J-37 in an "I" shaped Bakelite base.
This model, a J-37 on the unique Bakelite base, does not have
its own military nomenclature. Ten of them were included in
the lid of the AN/GSC-T1 code training set. Each key had its
cord wrapped around the base (the reason for the indents on
each side). On the border of the black base we can see
the letters " MFP" (moisture and fungus proofing)
- all in orange-red color.
The key is free of any damage and appears to have never been
used. I have never seen a J-37 mounted on this kind of plate
before!
Very good condition, though the cord is missing.
Purchased and received from Conrad K. Warren, Lexington,
Oklahoma. USA |

Ham Radio Center, Ham Key HK-1
Back in
1975, Ham Radio Center at St. Louis, Missouri produced a quality
key called the HK-1.They were sold as a cheaper alternative
to the more expensive Brown Brothers products.
From eHam.net reviews: "Manufactured for a few years
in the 1970’s, the HamKey most often sells for more now than
when it was new. Purists may scoff at this fine old paddle,
but it remains quite usable even today. Constructed on a more
than adequate metal base, the key housing is made of a durable
red plastic, with chromed metal parts. Well, maybe not chrome,
but polished and shiny. No fancy jeweled bearings for this
key, making this a very basic iambic keyer paddle."
I have a brand new one.
Sadly no longer in production, this is a fine key to operated
and easy to set up.
Purchased and received from Teddy Grossini, Lompoc, CA
- USA after one ebay auction on 28/11/2009 |

60 ..... HUNGARIAN MORSE CODE KEY |
For
many years various models of telegraph keys such as this one
were used by both the East German and the Russian Military
Forces.
This key was manufactured by the Mechlabor (Mechanical Laboratory)
in Budapest during the Cold War (1946-1985) and were used
in Hungary and other former Eastern-Block countries.
The key has a heavy metal 5-1/4" lever mounted on a black
plastic base. The mechanism is covered by grey stamped steel
step- down swing-over cover.
The key is mounted on a grey stamped steel base and was used
with the M104 radio set.
A Russian collector suggests that this radio may be a German
NVA (National Volks Armee (National Army of the People), version
of the R-104. |
