Why it was give away.
This Brown Brothers CTL was a gift to me some years ago from a ham who lives in Washington state. It arrived, along with the Vibroplex Vibro Keyer which I have converted into a VibroCootie, and they were both in very sad condition. The page that brought you here was the "after" picture. After I took it apart and fixed it back up. The picture on this page is as it arrived to me.

I fixed this key up and it was like it transformed back in time. What fun to use. Then, the time arrived and I knew it was time to pass this key along. I sent it as a gift to a great friend of mine who lives in Indiana.

Like me he is a CW nut and an ARRL Official Relay Station. We have traded gear and shared family stories and the key has become part of his collection and his Ham radio story.
