Side Swiper FS: Re: [CW] Re: Tnx Mike

[Michael Melland]

If someone really wants to try a pretty simple and nice 
side swiper I have one I'll sell.  I bought it several 
years ago from someone here on the list.  Not disatisfied 
in any way.... just sold my bug too.  I don't have time to 
experiment and I love my straight key and March paddle too 
much to bother mastering another type of style. 

It is one of Jim Richards, K6VDH's "Finger Tapper" keys. 
 It is solid machined brass on a wooden base and is serial 
number #26 I believe.  You can see the key on the Morse 
Express web page at: http://www.morsex.com/ftap/ .  

My key is very similar to that NA-10 but instead of the 
fancy wooden paddle it has a blue ... what looks like a 
guitar pick.  If you don't like that "handle" Jim told me 
last fall for $15 he'd retrofit the fancy wood handle to 
it.  They sell new for about $100 plus s&h ... this one 
isn't perfect, a few small scratches/marks so I'd sell it 
for $45 shipped.  

If interested send me an email...
