This was the keyer up with which I grew in the 1970s, and I had no idea how good it was. The variable pitch for the sidetone was a treat. It never occurred to me as a punk that not all keyers had such features. Our keyer was cosmetically modified with black and that mustard-brown plastic to match our Galaxy GT-550 set up. We ran it with a Viborplex paddle, and it is still runing strong in the shack of my brother, N2JT.
