Mark: I, too, built the WB4VVF Accukeyer and it was 1973, I believe. The memory boards were added a year later. I remember as I was a Junior in high school !! I also remember the output transistors were easy to blow ! Probably due to my nascent soldering skills ! HI I still have it in my storage.

Funny round things in it. Had 3 leads and a tab on the funny case. Used a mercury wetted relay in a great big tube like a shot gun shell I built an Accukeyer out of TTL chips around 1974. You guys are making me feel like a youngster... Thanks!!
