BD, we would love to hear how the new key is behaving. I've been using it quite a bit since it arrived. Lovin' it so far! I really didn't know what I was missing because the only key I had ever used was the Bencher. The fine adjustments on the Kent are a joy. And something I didn't expect was how much more stable it is, even though it is lighter than the Bencher. Must have something to do with the length/width aspect ratio. ETA: I think I changed my mind about disassembling and clear coating the brass parts. I'll leave it as is and see how much "patina" appears.

http://www.eham.net/data/classifieds/images/408623.jpg http://w1tp.com/5880.jpg I keep looking for one of these. I don't know if they are discontinued or I am just too dense to find one. But if one showed. Up at Fort Wayne, I'd probably buy it. |

Well since BigDaddy has the last TP-1 in the USA I'll have to wait a while longer. I just noticed AES Milwaukee location and DXEngineering have these back in stock.

I must have gotten lucky, I got the e-mail today that it is shipping, so now I will have a dual paddle to go along with my single paddle (from american Morse). |
