Twin Paddles by RA1AOM – Valery from St. Petersburg

Dear Sparks,

I bought some years ago a twin paddle from Valery and I have a great feel with this key, I have appreciated very much Valery’s morse keys and for this reason I have pushed him to send me pictues of the keys he produces to show you the real interesting products comes from an experienced former Radio Officer who knows how a morse key must be done. Sending the pictures of the twin paddles Valery said me:

Almost all parts are made of stainless steel and polished by hand. The levers are made of titanium. The base of the Urals Jasper or other stones. Contacts are located on the Nickel-plated cover plates of springy bronze. All adjustments are performed screws on the rear rack. As told one friend of mine the adjustment can be done as for a pianist and a tractor driver. The key is heavy and stable on the desktop. The production of the manipulator takes about 50 hours.
