| # 1 ..... CT
EUROPE DUAL LAVER PADDLE |
|
A new state-of-the-art cw key.
CT EUROPE is a dual lever (IAMBIC PADLLE). Plated edition. Has a very unusual design - three hoops on a classic pillbox base. The spring tension and contact spacing for each lever can be adjusted individually with the knurled screws. Bearing tension is adjustable but won't normally need it. The feel of this paddle is extremely crisp and precise. The CT Europe dual paddle has machined coin silver contacts, plexiglass fingerpieces, and an attached cable with 1/8" plug and 1/8" to 1/4" adaptor.
Unique individual serial number (S/N 148 UA 2006) and individualy hand crafted,
finished and packed. This paddles are made by UT7CT and available
in Europe from M0EDX on his eBay store.The CT EUROPE is a fine looking
key but they are easily scratched. Don't try to polish it, NEVER.
It comes complete with 3,5mm and 6,3mm connectors ready to plug
into a transciever jack keyer.
However my CT key required re-wiring to get the "dots"
on the left side and the "dashes" on the right.
Mainly it makes quite a job transmiting....VERY NICE!

3 ..... SPEED X, MORSE CW KEY |
|
Nice-looking example of the "SPEED - X" morse / CW key.
It's constructed on a heavy, cast-metal base which is itself mounted on
a surprisingly heavy composition multi-layer simulating wood base, with
4 rubber feet.
It does not move, even on my operating desk.
It has a nice keying action and the moving parts, pivots, spring etc.
are in good condition as are the contacts. The knob is unusual in that
it has 3 levels, the top one being a small rubber pad, making it feel "ergonomically
comfortable" when sending...
Although is quite a heavy key (about 450gr) |

6 ..... J-43 STR8 MORSE KEY |
|
Serial number #J43N151
In this case the standard J-37 is on a rectangular base stamped with a white "J-43" on the left side and a large toggle switch on the right side. The toggle switch is marked "OPEN" at the back and "CLOSED" at the front. The J-43 also has an additional binding post, marked "RELAY", and a small metal wicket mounted on the right rear of the base. The toggle switch has no effect on the normal operation of the key, but when the switch is set to CLOSED there is continuity between the "GND." (left) terminal on the frame and the "RELAY" binding post on the right rear of the base.
No manufacturer is indicated (Lionel Corporation, NY)
This scarce key is in very good condition, complete and original.

7 ..... Soviet Heavy Duty RF & Dust Proof Hand Key |
|
New SOVIET RF & dust proof hand
key. Type TKF
The two main key contacts are silver coated.
These keys were manufactured in the former USSR, for the Soviet army up
through the 1980s but were never delivered.
Designed for heavy duty use, they are very robust but can be adjusted
for a very nice feel. Tension, contact spacing, and bearing tension can
all be adjusted.
The hinged cover and base are a heavy plastic, as is the knob. A nice
piece of Cold War history.
Purchased and received from YURY at Ukraine. |

This amazing electronic key was made by KENPRO in Japan. The model
KP-200 has four available and programable memories by the operator.
Also you may choose the speed and the audio output.
I purchased this key to a friend, CT4KQ, a few years ago, and the only thing
needed was to change the old inside batteries.
Cover top and bottom were painted over with the same color ink.
This electronic morse key is for sure the most
eficient device I ever use on amateur radio cw operation.
