I should have added. The full TO Keyer has the dual triodes (don't remember
if they were 12AX7;'s or 12AT7's. Have to look at the schematic) and TWO
murcury relays. There is also the similar Woodfuff, W9UE, Keyer. Don't
remember if he put a weight control.

My dad designed & built a keyer about the same time, but it was based on RC
timing and charging waveforms rather that Jim's flip-flops.

Weren't the "TO" keyers popular in those days? I believe it was so
popular
that
Hallicrafters made them for a while.
