Chrome Bencher BY-2
Bought used
One of the members in the LICW club sold a few items hen wanted sell to club members at wonderful prices. I was interested in his Bencher Chrome BY-2 for sale for $55 including postage so contacted him.
He offered it on LICW's club page on FB.
This will be an upgrade from my 3D printed plastic key and I am sure it will give me many years of usage. It will also make make me feel more like, less of an amateur (or is it like, MORE of an amateur;) while practicing with quality twin paddle contacts.

Product write up: The Bencher BY series are dual-lever iambic paddles featuring adjustable contact spacing and tension, self-adjusting needle bearings, gold-plated solid silver contacts, polished clear Lucite paddles, heavy-steel bases, and non-skid feet. The main frame, contact post, and bearing ring are machined from solid brass. A paddle with definitive, yet subtle tactile feedback, friction-free return, and perfect closure on every dot and dash.
I have been using it to practice Morse code and is my favorite key.
