CW keys for sale:

McElroy Chrome "Deluxe Stream #300" Straight key 
It says "Radio-Telegraph Key - Deluxe Model - 
Stream.Mac" on a label on one side. The other
side has a label that says "Manufactured by 
T.R. McElroy, Boston, Mass. USA". It has a 
"tear drop" shaped base (sort of an oval, but 
elongated). It has a shorting switch included, 
and a navy knob, and is on a very heavy metal 
base plate (possible brass, but I am not sure), 
with a felt pad on the bottom. It has very nice 
action. I think that the key was one item, 
and it was mounted on the heavy metal base 
plate by a user. It also has a rubber covered 
cord on it, terminated in a real military type 
PL-055 B, brass, 1/4 inch plug. $175
 
E.F.Johnson Solid Brass Straight Key
This one is still in the E.F.Johnson box, brand
new. The box has a Central Scientific Corp
label over top of the E.F. Johnson label. The
key is all brass, with a shorting switch, and is
basically J-38 style. The base has E.F. Johnson
cast in it, and the key itself has a serial
number inscribed on it. The brass has a patina
that would be expected of older metal. $75

J-38 Japanese copy
This is not the real think, but is a Japanese copy.
The metal is simply brass colored , but it does
have a shorting switch and ball bearings. $20

Generic key
This is a generic CW straight key with a plastic 
base. It is nothing fancy, but it will do the job.
$12 

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
