I echo Bill's comments. Mine arrived, S/N 58, in the same manner as his and
I had to re-align it and tighten every screw.. No mis-shapen parts. I have
it connected to the OMNI 6+ keyer set to 30 wpm and my older brown Bros.
paddle attached to my external keyer set to 18-20 wpm. I can change speeds
quickly just by using a different paddle..
Works great.
