Amen, brother!  :-)

And to the critical ear, the CW emitted by a stock TCS has a
very subtle "clang" note that arises from the antenna relay
vibrating the case causing a slight FMing of the Master Osc
on the "make" (not on the break).

(This can be heard only on strong signals, of course)

A TCS "signature" for sure!
