CW Keys, Keyer, and Cables For Sale:

Army Signal Corps J 5 "Flameproof" Key
WW II vintage key, made by Western Electric.
Great condition.  $75

Nye Viking 320-001 CW Key
This key has a black rectangular base with nickel plated
hardware and a "Navy Knob". It has extremely good action,
much like the Nye "Master Key" that is now discontinued.
It works 100% and looks very good. I can not find a scratch
on this key.
Nye Viking sells this key for $65. Buy this one for only $40.

Nye Viking Speedex 310-001 "Oval Base" Key
Nice action, with nickel hardware.  This originally had a black
base, but someone painted it to look like it is brass.
Nye sells these for $58.  This one is only $35.

Heavy Metallic Base for CW Key
This is a heavy metal base that weighs about a pound and a half,
and has red felt on the bottom. Attach most any key to it and it
will stay in place on your desk!  $20

Signal Electric R-68 Code Practice Buzzer
This unit has an oval based key (nice action with nice bearings)
mounted on a piece of wood that I think is mahogany.
The code is on a metal plate on the front, with the key on
the right, and the buzzer on the left.  There is a wiring
diagram and other information on the back.  It can be used
by itself, or hooked together with another unit.
This unit is in great condition, and is collectible.  I don't
know the exact vintage, but I am guessing prior to WW II.  $50


TenTec 670 Electronic Keyer / Paddle Combination
The TenTec 670 is a complete electronic CW keyer in one package.
It includes the paddle as well as the electronics, so there is
no need to add a paddle as with most keyers. There is a cable
with two RCA phono plugs on it it -- one for 12 V DC and one
for the keying output. This unit is made to key solid state
rigs (typically switching 12 Volts). It is a sort of chocolate
brown color styled to match the early Omni series A,B, and C,
the TenTec Delta, etc.
This particular unit works fine, and looks extremely nice.
I can not find a scratch on it.
Paper work included for $60.


Cables for CW keys and keyers

Cable for straight key
About 3 feet long, with a mono 1/4 inch phone plug on it,
as is used with a straight key. $5
As above, but 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug. $5

Cable for paddles
About 3 feet long, and with a 1/4 inch stereo connector
on the end, like used by most rigs. $8
As above, but 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug $8


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.

73,

Ken, W8EK
