[CW] McElroy Stream Key and other CW items FS

[В.Пахомов]

Hello everybody, 
 
as for keys and bugs by T.R.McElroy  I have got 7 bugs and 2 keys. They can be seen in my collection at The RADIOMUSEUM Valery Gromov - http://www.rkk-museum.ru/collections/gc_e.shtml   . 
 
From my point of view The Professional McElroy key John produced at  McElroy Electronics looks like  a J-38.
It is a pity but The name of Teodor R.McElroy well known all over the world and John could try to produce anything NEW and original.

>I had the use of a McElroy Stream key for 30 years on a long-term loan from a neighbor, K1MVO (SK), he was delighted that I returned it ten years before his death, it was his beloved uncle's key.
>
>I agree with you about the action of this key, it has a delightful action.
>
>I happened to meet John McElroy, then owner of McElroy Electronics, Inc. from Shirley, MA and he had never seen this Stream key, so I lent it to him, why not, his father made them.
>
>A few years later shortly after John gave me back the chromed McElroy Stream key, he sent me a McElroy Professional Key which he (John) produced in the 1970s.  For someone who wasn't a Morse operator (at all) John produced one of the finest American type keys I've ever used.
>
>Here's a picture of the Professional McElroy key John produced at McElroy Electronics.
>A key given as a gift is treasured, but I am simply amazed at how well this  one works.
>Ted's son got it right - it is even better than his father's straight keys - or at least the one's I've tried.

>Incidentally, John (Jack) McElroy, Ted's son, was in a V.A. Hospital in a coma, for FIVE years.  He came out one day and lived forty years afterwards and was President of McElroy Electronics and ran the company for the rest of his life.
