Hey Joe,
My dad was a telegrapher for Northern Pacific in the early '60s...I know he's got a couple keys and receivers.  Also has a box that works kind of like a reel to reel tape recorder, but instead of magnetic tapes it has paper tapes punched for the code...is that a code trainer?  I remember playing with all that stuff as a kid...I hooked it up with a couple of D cell batteries and a roll of speaker wire.  I had no idea what messages I was sending, but I had fun transmitting them across the living room lol.
