Thanks Dave.
I never would have guessed. I read that Begali has changed the contact
material to help this. My Signature came last week so I hope it would be
current. I hate the thought of ordering parts from Begali as it takes so
long to get anything. Yes, I am impatient !! Heck, it takes a while to get
an email response from his Daughter :)
I see on their site they have a gold contact option, but did not see
anything about silver. I dont know what material I have but its gold in
color. The one contact on the arm appears pressed in and the other side is
in the adjusting screw. Did your replacement include new arms and adjusting
screws?

Rich,
my solution was to order the silver contact replacement set from Begali
instead, for the sake of simplicity.
It took a while for the parts to arrive, but they installed very easily,
and work great.
The theory is correct as far as my experience goes.
However, I am an amateur, not a pro, so you might get differing opinions.

I just bought a new Begali Signature to go with my K2/100. I was thinking
about buying a MicroHam/K1EL USB CW keyer to work with my Pro III so I
can run mode B.
I just ran into this article about a debouncer and the Begali keys.

This seems pretty wild to me, but thought I would toss it out the the CW
Pros ! It seems the problem is related to PIC based keyers. Does this
apply to the K2 and what do you think about the whole theory?
Thanks and 73,
