I also have been using an old, by now rather beat-up, Brown Bros. paddle
for years. I love it. It "takes a beating and keeps on bleating." :-)
Seriously, it has withstood many head-first dives off the table onto
concrete pavement during portable operations and didn't even show signs of
being damaged. I have the model with an iambic paddle and a straight key
on one base. I don't have to go digging for the straight key on SKN that
way.
