[CW] [MorseCode] ITT/Mackay Blue Boxed Key

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

Hi Tom,

I also posted it to my Radio-Officers list - over 4,300 members - but I
posted to MorseCode and CW @qsl.net lists first, It's gone in a flash.

It is a Nye-Viking key mounted in a blue painted box with heavy cable and
right angle Switchcraft plug. The bottom of the box has a thin rubber pad
so the key doesn't slip or mark the operating desktop.


archive.org doesn't archive ebay, so here's photos of mine.
