Here is a Brand new in the original-box Heathkit "UltraPRO HD-899 morse code/CW keyboard kit. unopened, unbuilt, and unused. Contents of the box were only removed to make sure everything was there and in good shape. The kit will be shipped double-boxed in the original heathkit shipping box placed inside an outer shipping box. The Heathkit company is no longer in operation and kits of this type have not been produced in a long time - unbuilt examples are becoming extremely rare. The almost magical experience and satisfaction of building one's own equipment is becoming rare in this modern age. This kit builds a keyboard that will output morse code to various amateur radio transmitters. ALL of the original paperwork (manual, packing slip, construction instructions, etc. are included). It even comes with some solder! A high-quality ALPS brand high-quality keyboard is included with the desirable mechanical keyswitches. Note that this is a KIT and will require soldering to assemble. While this kit is in mint condition, I must sell it "as-is" due to the nature of all vintage electronics and "kit form" electronics.
That is pretty sweet!!
Does anyone have any idea what kind of keyswitches are on there?
