An excellent keyer

I obtained my T.O.Keyer around 1961. I've used it almost constantly over the years. I even had it shipped to Okinawa when I was at the Army Mars station KR6USA. And the best part of this review? I've never had a problem with this keyer. It has all it's original parts and tubes! It still works great.

Though it lacks practically all the features of today's keyers, it still deserves a "5" for what it did in its day. I've had mine for 30 years, though I'll admit it's been on the shelf for the last 15. That is simply because I need the memories and other features of the modern keyer, but somehow, I can't bear to part with it. I did one mod: added a pot to vary the sidetone frequency. As the previous reviewer noted, this would make a nice addition to any vintage station, and it works very well, too.
Maybe that's why I'm hanging onto it...to go with that HT-37 I'm going to acquire someday.

Reliable vintage keyer

I've owned my T.O. Keyer for 15 years and it's a great little keyer! I reccommend one of these for anyone who uses antique equipment because it can do cathode keying. This keyer also works just fine on modern equipment for those of you who would like to run something vintage but still prefer to use modern rigs. The only thing I have had to replace were two electrolytics, otherwise the keyer has performed flawlessly over the years. The speed and weight adjustments operate nicely to suit the person using it. These usually can be had in nice condition for under $100 dollars and work great with any set of paddles. Some of the coolest 'visuals' are the OA2 tubes in the back with the one that 'blinks' and the neon bulb that flickers as well as you send. Ever notice that the neon bulb flickers 3 times with a dash and once with a dot?
