Ten-Tec Deluxe "Squeeze" Keyer Model KR-40 New in the Original Box
This Keyer was tested and appears to be working but the paddles appear to need some adjustment.
It is a part of a large Ten-Tec collection which has been stored and unused for many years so it may need some cleaning of contacts and potentiometers.
I am selling this keyer as is, as described
Ten-Tec Model KR-40 Deluxe "Squeeze" Keyer is a vintage iambic (squeeze) electronic CW keyer from the early 1970s (introduced around 1971–1972), one of Ten-Tec's early high-end keyers designed for smooth, fatigue-free Morse code operation. It features a built-in paddle (dual-lever iambic paddles), memory for automatic character spacing, self-completing dots/dashes, and excellent performance across a wide speed range.

- Build: Compact (approx. 4" wide x 2" high x 6" deep), steel chassis with wood-grain side panels.
