Value of rare Datong CW keyboard?

[K7NHB]

I have a Datong CW keyboard with manual. This allows keyboard cw without requiring a computer, smartphone, etc. It has the standard QWERTY key line up, plus some Pro-Signs and punctuation. There are four memories and auto-repeat. You can adjust the speed/weight/delay and speed goes from 5 to 33 wpm. There is a volume control for the monitor tone - which is too high for my hearing. The unit runs on batteries or DC supply. The top is a "membrane" cover rather than individual keys so nothing can spill in. There's an AF out but I couldn't get anything out of it. Long ago I might have googled that it was common for these units.  I want to sell it for a fair price for me and the buyer. Any idea what this is worth either to use or for the Collector?

Thank you and 73,
Paul

So many views and no replies - I figure in a few days I'll put this in the classified shipped to CONUSA for $85; need to list all the features from the manual. There is probably a Datong gear collector out there who would love to have it - or someone who wants to send CW via full size keyboard and need a computer.

There is a "Datong Archive" online and maybe someone in their community would be interested in buying the unit or preserving any manuals that you have. Their website: https://sites.google.com/site/datongarchive/

If the keyboard has a model number etc. you might want to include that in your sales offers.

Also see this where someone is specifically asking for a Datong Morse keyboard: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120805060600AA16wP2

I personally think that CW keyboards are kinda neat, but have never actually used one :-)

My wild guess is $30 absolute tops, unless there is someone that is a Datong fan.

Thank you, Tim.
the question from the UK seems to have been retired (9 months old) so I couldn't reply to it; I did put a post in the Datong Archive group.

I know their Audio filters are highly regarded (I have two) and still in demand.

When people comment about this, it seems they miss the point a bit by suggesting a computer program. For that, you need a computer! This is self contained. And it has a membrane on top instead of individual keys. It has speed control, weight/detail settings and 4 memory banks.

Of course it is not "new". It is not "state-of-the-art". But it has its evolutionary place. I'm pretty sure it will find a home in the Datong Archive group as they didn't have one listed at all.

Thanks again and 73,
