GB> Northern Radio Frequency Shift Keyer?

[kd4e]

It was with a Northern Radio Variable Master Oscillator so
I suppose it may have been used the same way.

I would not be using it for TTY and other modes and
would prefer someone else do so rather than taking
it apart.

It is probably too heavy to ship so would need a home
here in the Tampa Bay area.
