I wish Scott the best too, although I do worry about what now happens to the
Ten-Tec Amateur line.
Also wonder about the business case for a company that makes keys, although
maybe Scott has some new ideas in mind. My first QSO, almost 50 years ago,
was with a Vibroplex key, and I have used many of their bugs and paddles
since. I am also now using a Begali Simplex that I love, but some new
offerings from Vibroplex might coax me to try something else.

I wish him the best, of course. Just wondering what the business case
is for taking on that portfolio of century old key designs? It's not
exactly a growth market. Maybe there's something going on in the back
room? I hope so!
I write as a happy owner of a Begali Simplex. There is a nice
boutique market for products like that, but I don't expect many people
are getting rich selling Morse keys.
