Interesting! I used to own one of these (the single-hole variety) - it never worked too well, but then I was no expert at it. Don't remember where I got rid of it - probably at a hamfest for a song.

I took my extra code exam with a portable version of this machine, run by the FCC examiner. It's a long story which I won't repeat, but it involved a tape machine malfunction! Cranky beasts.

Oh wow - my Dad had one of those - does that go back a few years.

Donate it to W1AW museum - I don't know who the station engineer is anymore as I left there in the late '80s, but I'm sure they would really appreciate the donation.

Hi to the group.

My silent key friend's XYL has a paper tape morse code device and we would like to donate it to a museum. It is in a nice looking wood box. It has one paper tape, a hand crank on the side of the box and should be saved as an important piece of history. His XYL and I are both 74 years old so it will just be a matter of time before this ends up in a land fill if we don't find a home for it.

She sent me two pictures of it so if anyone is interested I can E-Mail the pictures. She will donate the piece and I will pay shipping if we can find a home for it.
