I agree wholeheartedly.  Sounds dumb, doesn't it?

I have a vintage Bunnell sideswiper, but much prefer my mid-1920s,
velvet-smooth Vibroplex Original.  The sideswiper has to be screwed down to
the table to make it usable, and sending with it would require going through
a learning curve.  My iambic paddle and electronic keyer have been
collecting dust on the shelf for years.
