Wow! Absolutely beautiful, incredibly quiet and responsive action. Thank you!!!

What a finely made work of art.  It is absolutely beautiful!!!  I put it on the air hours after I received it and worked 3B9FR on Rodriquez island, RU3EG in Russia and several more. I am proud to display such a beautiful key in my shack!

Check out the great review by N1ABS!

It’s a whole new thing…no springs or magnets to mess with. Just plug it in, adjust the contact travel to your liking and experience one of the quietest and smoothest straight keys you’ll ever use.

The video shows my original design.

All components are made by hand. All brass parts are mounted to black soapstone base and then hand polished. The knob is hand turned out of Delrin and modeled after the Navy Flameproof key.

A 6″ 3.5 mm cable is included.

Each key will come with an engraved plate with a serial number.

  1. Steve,

    Our QSO this afternoon got me intrigued about your torsion bar SK so I ordered one! Looks like a fine piece of work and I will look forward to receiving it and getting it on the air!

    • Hi Justin, Thanks for taking the time to do the video. Like you say, there’s not much to adjust, but if something does get out of whack, it’s pretty easy to get it back into alignment. 73, Steve, W1SFR
