A solid state code practice oscillator and monitor that uses current integrated circuit design.  It includes a 3" speaker and has headphone terminals and separate volume and tone controls. Easy to build kit (OCM-2K), or factory wired and tested (OCM-2W) shown below.

Thousands of Morse students have started with a key like this, going back to the 1920's.  Perfectly adequate for sending practice, and an inexpensive gift for that child who might be interested in learing code.  Spring tension and contact spacing are adjustable.

The least expensive "real key" that we sell, this is the famous "Japan ball bearing key."  It has a brass-plated base, a shorting switch, and adjustable ball bearings on the trunion.  Contact spacing and spring tension are easily adjusted, and the contacts are silver plated.
