I have a gold plated "Presentation model" i got for Xmas back in the 
early 80's.  Never did get a case for it and i regret that.  I've never 
even hooked it up to a code oscillator nor transmitter so it just sets 
on the shelf wrapped in one of my clean TTY cloths.  Keeps the dust etc 
off of it.  I use one of their Vibro keyers that i got from a K5 back 
when i was in the AF in the early 60's.  Can't imagine using anything else.
