[GreenKeys] So sad

[gfmurphy at earthlink.net]

My first Model 15 had ganged switches like the ones shown in the ebay
listing.  For a view of another M15 with the same type of switches,
see     cgi.ebay.com/251532961209      It's in much nicer condition.

The switches are called 'Despard' devices.  Google 'despard' and you'll
see that they are still available.
