    This is a rare set of iambic paddles mfd by HAMCO, which bought the key business from HAL in 1978 and was eventually bought by Vibroplex and morphed into the brass racer line.  The key is in overall very good condition with a few small corrosion spots, patina on the engine turned brass and some signs of wear.  The paddles are somewhat discolored.  All this is visible in photos.  I have not attempted to clean this because of its collectibility.
    --This key is similar to the HAMCO "Scotia" model, however the "Trinidad" has the engine-turned hammertone brass finish.
    --I am including the proper allen wrench to adjust return force, visible in last photo.
    --This key was part of the first production designs to integrate
    magnetic
    tensioning.  There is no substitute for this method, springs just don't do the job.
    --From a smoke and pet free home.
    --I will ship this, double boxed to protect moving parts, by USPS priority mail.
    Priority mail rates are now virtually the same as parcel select for small packages and eBay is apparently phasing out parcel select as an option. In any event, just pay the eBay shipping calculator amount to your address.  No packing or handling charges.
    Just pay the eBay shipping calculator amount to your address.
    --I am now offering carrier specific shipping discounts to reflect actual shipping costs I pay and no more.  This should work out to your advantage and further reduce the impact of shipping charges.
    --ABSOLUTELY NO FOREIGN SHIPPING!! CONUS ADDRESSES ONLY!
    --LOW $.99 STARTING BID AND NO RESERVE ON THIS!!!!!!!!
