I have my CMOS Accu-keyer built in the 1970's from the QST article. It
includes a set of Ham Key paddles built into the enclosure. 

Some day they'll be worth a fortune as collectable e-debries... (don't hold
your breath <G>)

Hey, I *still* have my W9TO keyer!!   Love that thing although the old
keyers don't have dot or dash memory so I can hardly send on those things
anymore.

(BTW, in case you've never used one of the ancient keyers, having no dot or
dash memory (auto-complete?) means that if your brain and hand are sending
characters faster than the keyer then things will get lost.  For example, if
you send the letter N and your keying was such that you sent the trailing
dot before the keyer finished sending the initial dash then the trailing dot
would be lost and you would have sent a T.)
