[TenTec] Looking for a Begali Simplex Mono Key

[Harry Freeman]

If you look at the picture of the Signature in the description, you will 
see gold on gold with the blue paddles. If you click on "Keys/Paddles" 
you will see a thumbnail picture of the signature with gold on the 
palladium base and red paddles. You can also see the palladium base in 
the Graciella and the Simplex mono pictures.

At Dayton last year I saw the March key and almost bought one. As I 
didn't go to Dayton to look for a new paddle, I finally decided against 
it and moved on. On the very next row, I ran into Piero selling his 
paddles. When I tried his keys, I'm afraid I couldn't pass up the chance 
to own one and bought his last Magnetic Pro. The March was a nice key, 
but Piero's keys are in a class all their own. My only regret is that he 
did not have a Signature to sell me, but then, it's the function not the 
looks that have the real beauty. ( IMHO, YMMV ) I am very happy with my 
puchase.
