[CW] Key Used Most / Prettiest Key

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

OK Troy, see I've put a new subject on this:

Your votes:

Most used:        Vibroplex Deluxe Blue Racer
Prettiest:            McElroy Deluxe Marbelite Finish Speed Key

Both are beautifully handling keys.  I have the key you have, and mine has
the dot spring pre-tensioner which Mac used to eliminate key bounce.  My
model year is 1939 and that year was the only year when those dot spring
tensioners were made.

MY VOTES:

Most used:    Vibroplex Standard Original 1945
Prettiest:        Vibroplex Lightning Bug Deluxe Speed Key (all chrome with
a cute little red button on top!)

DR,

Used most is my Vibroplex Deluxe Blue Racer (circa 1957).
The prettiest is my McElroy Deluxe Marbelite Finish Speed Key, serial number
1784 (circa 1938?). Yeah, I know that wasn't the question , but it is the
prettiest ( well to me anyway. A photo of one just like it at
http://www.w1tp.com/7627.jpg ).
Next in line for sending is the Vibroplex Single Lever paddle.
73,
Troy, W6HV
