Marconi PS 213A key info.
Hello All, I am new to the forum and I hope that this is the correct place for this. I am a Ham operator here in the states (km4orn) and I collect vintage code practice sets and code keys. I have what appears to be a Marconi PS 213A export key. It has no model or serial number on the base. It is missing one of the cheese head terminal screws and washers and also the finger knob. Any help in acquiring these parts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Marconi PS 213A key info.
The images I found on the internet suggest that you need a nickel plated brass slotted cheesehead machine screw.
I estimate that it is 2BA (British Association) or larger. It could have a larger than standard head for the thread size. Are you able to make accurate measurements? |

One of these...
https://picclick.co.uk/Marconi-PS-21...291854570.html Supposedly a very rare key - one post said GBP620! Looks similar to my "Key, morse, type D, ref no 10A/7373."
