[CW] RES: For Sale

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Bom Dia, Franco,

He is selling these keys:

I have a Begali Blade straight key ($179.00) and
> an ARRL Cennential Key ($175.00).


The Begali Blade is a straight key.  Reviews are here:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/8222

The ARRL Centennial Key is a dual paddle manipulator for electronic keyer:

The Centennial Key seems to not available anymore, but a special Begali
paddle is available now.

The Centennial of ARRL was 2015, so maybe the special Vibroplex key was
only solid in 2015.
