[Elecraft] Old Keyers (was: FT 8)

[Augie "Gus" Hansen]

This is as good a time as any, I guess. I'm selling off items from the 
estate of my friend Marv, W0ZK. One of the items is a clean and 
functional T.O. Keyer, a.k.a., Hallicrafters Model HA-1. The package 
includes the octal control plug with the speaker jump installed. A 
printed copy of the Operating and Service Instructions is included (file 
available on line).

Asking $85 shipped to US (50) destinations. PayPal, USPS money order, or 
check (time to clear) accepted. Proceeds go to Marv's widow to offset 
funeral and related expenses.
