I came across a used Foley-Belsaw 200 key machine at the flea market today. It was mounted on a flat board, looked well used, had the originalmanual, and had a single micrometer adjustment--presumably for zeroing or rudimentary code-cutting.
The man also had a manual ILCO duplicator--also looking pretty old, rather small motor, but probably from a closed hardware store.
The cost for the F-B was $30, and he wanted $50 for the ILCO duplicator.
I passed on both of them because I really can't see myself using a key machine very much. I also didn't know the prices for used key machine.
Was this a really great deal that I should have jumped on?
