[CW] Really DC rather than CW: EFJ Telegraph Learner Sets

[wz4cw at comcast.net]

Mike- 

     The keys look similar to a J-38 key.  You might look at     http://artifaxbooks.com/forsale.htm     

Scroll down to "SPARE PARTS FOR KEYS . . ." 

The price might be kind of high:  $2.00 for a spring plus $2.50 for shipping? 

Maybe something at Lowe's would be less expensive?

Yesterday I bought two E. F. Johnson Telegraphy Learner Sets, Johnson 
Catalog Number 114-110, at a going-out-of-business sale held by a local 
private school. 

They are on reddish-stained pine bases. The keys both have shorting 
bars, and are made of brass. The sounders appear to be made of steel or 
iron, with the company name and location ("E. F. JOHNSON CO", "WASECA, 
MINN") stamped or engraved on one side of each armature bar. The 
underside of each base has a set of connection diagrams for single- and 
double-set operation. 

One set is missing the return spring for its key. Neither has been 
treated gently, and both have been grossly maladjusted in the setup. Any 
hints or links for getting a replacement return spring for the key will 
be gratefully accepted. 

Some images of them can be seen at <http://mikea.ath.cx/EFJ1>. 

Does anyone else here have any of these?
