[CW] ELBOW ROOM

Hi George,

My collection is a little larger than yours, but for your situation,
Go to your local home center, (Lowes, Home Quarters) and get
a shelf large enough to hold all but one of your keys.  Keep one
at your operating  and display the rest.

Make an extension cord to go from the key jack on your rig to
a jack close to where the key sits and have all the keys  wired
with a short cord(6" or less) and plug.  This should make them
look better on the shelf and will make it very easy to change keys.

My Key Collection starts at http://www.qsl.net/n0uf/keys.htm
