[Collins] KWS-1 key

[Glen Zook]

Motorola used at least 3-different versions of these keys.  The most common was the #2135 which was used on basically all mobile FM two-way radio units except for the 15-inch wide units primarily made during the 1950s and very early 1960s.  The #2553 was used on many base stations.  The third one, I cannot recall the number right now, was used as the "off / on" switch for the MTS, IMTS, and RCC radiotelephone control heads.


The #2059 was used by Aerotron.

Some where, I probably have the number of the key used on the KWS-1, 30S-1, and the very rare 30S-3.

Cole RO9 is an uncut key blank cut by the key shop or key department in 
the hardware store. Its a copy, not an original. I have several Cole 
keys on my key ring for camper and truck topper. With that blank in hand 
and the lock apart I'm sure I could make a working key in less than an 
hour. A locksmith with the right tools should take 5 minutes.
