Description: If you're an uncompromising collector of antique technology, make sure to check out all my listings after you look at this one. I don't think you'll find a better, broader or more balanced assortment of technical antiques anywhere -- hundreds of no-reserve auctions each year, almost all of them featuring eye-popping "gee whiz" gadgetry in exceptional original condition. And don't forget, you can click this link to quickly add and then save me to your favorite seller list and Ebay will automatically send you updates when I put similar new auctions online.Here's a large, beautiful Marconi Key-On-Board (KOB) mounted with an Edison Swan galvanometer and a General Post Office (GOP) sounder. The key itself is unsigned but is identical in all respects to two other Marconi keys I've seen that were mounted identically. Clean hardware, clean sounder coil casings, clean everything. Key is resilient; sounder coils are good; galvanometer responds to electrical input, as does the sounder. Should work fine in most applications but given its age (110 years) I can obviously not warrant its operational status. Overall, an excellent example of this well-made telegraph apparatus. Approximately 10" deep by 7" wide by 5" high. Shipping weight approximately 14 lb. I'm one of ebay's best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique radios, and I specialize in radios from the 1920's. I've been selling and shipping them for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique radio from me, you'll receive a radio that arrives safely because it's been carefully packed (by me, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool), Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
