Matching as far as color? Well the KR40 keyer is close. I have a couple of
these. They have a good, snappy, feel to them. Ten Tec was ahead of the pack
when it came to using magnets instead of springs. These keyer/paddles run on
110vac so no external transformer is needed. They are "iambic" and again,
TenTec was probably the first to come out with this feature on a keyer. The
only thing I don't like is that the dashes always seemed a tad short.
I bought mine new back in the mid 70's and it seems like the price was
around $80. A big investment for a key in those days!
TT also made other,cheaper, keyers but I recommend this one because it is a
modern, mode B iambic. Some of their newer paddles required dc voltage for
the magnets.
