I built my first electronic keyer in 1956 ... ~10 dual triodes, weighed 
about a brick.  Self-completing elements but that was it.  Reworked my 
Lionel J-36 to bring out both left and right, and lost my "bug fist" 
almost overnight.  Never got it back and I've never gotten to the iambic 
thing either.
