[SOC] Morse code oscilator for a young boy

[Bob Patten]

Here's one suggestion.  A $15 kit with connectors for key and 
speaker/earbuds.

There are many other kits which will show up by googling "code practice 
oscillator".  You and your grandson would have the bonus of putting a 
simple kit together.

I do have an "entry level" key so that part is taken care of.  Time is something of the essence here (yes, in the SOC tradition I've been putting this off).  Does anyone know of a place to get something cheap and easy that may work for us.
