117 ..... HI-MOUND BK-100 |
Model BK-100
The BK-100 bug shown in this photo is a
descendant of early Japan-made Swallow bugs, and a unique item with
several atributes. It has a flat pendulum like the Vibroplex Champion
which makes it a very good semi-automatic key for newcomers, and its
weight is adjustable over a wide speed range. Adjustments are fitted
with locknuts and face inward so the complete mechanism cam be protected
by a mating clear plastic dust cover. A single fingerpiece extends from
the dust cover's far end, and a small hole in the key cabinet's side
permits routing an output cable to a transciever. The base is well
weighted and has a rubber bottom pad that holds solid to a desk under
intensiv use.
The Japanese DENTSU SEIKI BK-100 Bug Key, marketed under
several names, including Lafayette, Calrad, Skillman, Hi-Mound,
Jelectro, Eagle and Swallow.
Hi-Mound has been in business since just
after World War II, and these well-made keys, paddles, and bugs
have a well-deserved reputation for quality. "High Mound" is the
closest English translation of the founder and President's name--
Takatsuka.
Manufactured during early 60's.
There are only two slightly different examples: one has a black & chrome
label and a gray base and this ultra rare one has a cream & gold label with an
orange coloured base. Also presents one number graved on the base wich I
don't know the meaning of it.

# 120 ..... WWII RAF BATHTUB MORSE KEY |
A superb example of a 100% original WW2 RAF Lancaster Bomber
"Bath Tub" Morse Tapper. In really super condition!
This one is the brown bakelite version made in Mill Hill
London, not the more common black Canadian made version.
Size about 61cm x 49 cm.
All the heavy WW2 RAF bombers used the TX/RX radio and "Bath
Tub" morse key although it is particularly associated with
the Lancaster. It was also used on some fighter
planes, and being waterproof it was used on open canopy
planes like the British torpedo bomber the Swordfish.
The heavy Bakelite case also protected against sparks.
The ball attached spring clip on the front could be flicked
forward to hold down the ball knob and send a continuous
carrier to enable the DF stations to get a fix on their
position before the crew bailed out of a damaged aircraft.
The keys action was also designed to be easier to use by the
gloved fist of the RAF wireless operator whilst the aircraft
was being tossed about or trying to evade ground fire
The interior is clean without the usual areas of rust, and
apart from a small wear area to the ball knob and spring
wire is very unusually in super condition.
Very hard to find a better example.
This key was purchased on eBay from "Special Air Sea
Services, Paul R Lewis, Sylvester Street Works, Sylvester
Street, Lancaster, Lancashire LA1 5DG United Kingdom"
