I've been using an identical one for over 35 years.


















It's a set of iambic paddles for sending Morse code.

I got my first bug at a hamfest for $5. It wasn't a Vibroplex, though. Packed it away when I left for college and never found it again. Going to Dayton this year, and I think I'm going to pick up one of N3ZN's wonderful creations. I think it'll be this one:



Love the Begali paddles. They're works of art, but I think overpriced. Great feel, though.

I've got the Bencher as well as a Magnakeyer.

The best tool ever! I use it all the time to move stuff. Stuff like the groceries from the garage that is a long walk to the house. Moving gardening stuff like wood chips, bags of soil and planters. Best money ever spent. It saves my back!

I need a hand opener, not a mechanical one, which one do you have. Thanks.
