CW is just a narrower version of AM

I got down to the MIT Flea to day in beautiful Cambridge Mass. They have one more to go next month. I saw a nice Ranger 2 but really just a few radios. It is more about parts and projects and test equipment and there always is a bunch of weird science stuff, even chemistry stuff, Geiger counters and such. It takes about an hour to do a walk through. Anyway here is my 75 dollar haul. Of note is the nice J-38 key and pair of used but pretty nice looking 4CX250B's.

Mike,

Good finds there!  I really like that J-38 key.  As a novice I tried the trick of using a poker chip to simulate a Navy style knob.  Since I was using the hum from the Valiant plate transformer as my keying monitor I needed all the help I could get with my keying quality.

You got a lot of nice stuff for $75.

I remember going to that flea many years ago (make that decades).  About that same thing.  Mostly folks' junque that they may have been told by their XYLs (YLs) to get rid of.  Never returned

4CX250s were a nice find
