I've used this regularly for almost 25 years.

And this old mechanism since 1964.

Love the old key. My dad set it up for me with headphones as a kid. I played with it for hours!
That new key is pretty Tim!
Those are great mechanisms.

I second the comments on OldCrow's shot!!

Tim, some nice nostalgia on the code keys! My dad was great at that, but I only have a basic (and very rusty) grasp of morse code. Every now & then I'll brush up on it.

I didn't get the second shot I really wanted of this 'cause I got busy this weekend, but I did snap a few of it last night with the G12 so I could meet the 'deadline', even though I didn't post it 'til now. Here's part of an old mechanism most of us either have used or remember.

I may be fascinated with volcanoes, but the name's Lisa.

Lisa, that brings back memories of long, late, nights of typing term papers on my old Smith Corona with Eaton's Corrasable (sp?) paper.

Kids in college today don't know how good they have it with these modern word processors.  :p

Oh, Tim, I remember that paper, but haven't thought about it in years! It seemed like a gift from the gods! Thanks for the memories.
