[CW] Special WW2 Semi-automatic key with SPECIAL "Cootie Dasher"

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

This key was designed specifically to produce uniformly made dashes,
it does this, listen to the video of UA3AO using it, the dashes are
excellent.  I find the fingers fatigue quickly and get lazy in respect
to timing correctly but with the back and forth action between the two
paddles (flat type of knob, not the button type on the dot side) it
produces excellent results.

The key is seldom seen outside Russia and even there it is extremely
rare. One got sold recently on eBay.

Here's a video I just found about this key Semiautomatic key with two
levers - one specially designed for sending dashes only! UA3AO,
Валерий Алексеевич Пахомов, Valery Pakhomov, with various keys.

semiautomatic key with two levers made for sending even dashes (2nd
lever sends the 2nd and 4th dash only.) If you want to skip to where
he sends with this key, it starts at 6:22 minutes, be sure to watch
until he stops because he really cranks up the speed!
