[Elecraft] FS Soviet keys

[Janzer, Mark]

I've been volunteering some of my time to support the Yerevan Amateur Radio
club, in Armenia. Over the past year, they have shipped me (through visiting
ham intermediaries) a number of Soviet military and student keys that I'm
selling for the benefit of their club. All the proceeds (less shipping) go
to the club, EK8ZZ. 

Heavy Duty Morse CW Key. This key was manufactured in Cherkassy, Ukraine,
for the Soviet military up through the 1980s. Designed for heavy duty use,
they are very robust but can be adjusted for a very nice feel. Tension,
contact spacing and bearing tension can all be adjusted. There are two
contacts, for up and down stroke, though you can wire it, as with any other
key for conventional use. The hinged cover and base are a heavy plastic, as
is the knob. The key measures 3-1/2" by 3" at the base of the unit. Solder
lugs are provided for the connections within the base, and there are four
holes (concealed by the cover when it is closed) for screwing it down to a
board or table. 

$27 each, includes shipping. Note that these keys are used and have some
minor scuffing.

The other keys are Soviet school keys. They are mostly plastic, the main arm
is a steel channel. The solid plastic Navy style knob comes in a marbelized
white color.

$17 each, includes shipping. Note that some of the coloration varies from
key to key and these keys have been used.

Please respond off the list to mjanzer@hal-pc.org to reserve one or both.
There is a limited supply, so first come first serve.  I'll accept Paypal
(at K5MGJ@Excite.com),though this reduces the funds I can send on. Check or
money order is preferred, made out to me, sent to my callbook address.

My only interest is helping out these hams and the kids they are teaching.
I have already donated an HF station to the group, which has been set up and
is active as EK6WA in Artik, Armenia.

Thanks for your support!
