Mecograph Model 3 - Telegraph Speed Key not Vibroflex

Item Details

Description

Mecograph made knock off speed keys. This model #3 is a heavy brass unit with a serial number of 2064 stamped into the side. I am sure it will require some work to get it working. Mecograph is an interesting maker. I think they stopped making this model by 1913. Special thanks to: https://www.radioblvd.com/telegraph_keys_part2.htm
