Where can I get a steel base plate for a Speed-X telegraph key? The
aluminum one is too light.


I've got a marble key base. Nice and heavy. Go to a trophy shop and ask
if you can buy an undrilled marble base. Then you'll have to get a small
masonry bit (and a drill press really helps too). Or maybe the trophy
shop will be able to work a deal for the custom drilling too.


I thought of that, but I want something thinner than a typical marble
base. That's why I went looking for steel.
