Not a bad looking job, like the name tags. Too bad there are no interior pictures.  The keying system looks to be fun having lots of high voltage on the key contacts but understand that's the way things were done back then. One little relay would have gone a long way in helping.
I just finished reading how on the old land line telegraph circuts it was not uncommon to run sometimes hundreds of volts and can see where that can get hairy.

Here's a unique "conversion" of a BC-221 frequency meter.

with a slight modification, it became a 6AG7 + 807 ham transmitter.
