Hi I’m Bradley and I have an addiction and I don’t need help! Well, only help finding more keys and maybe another board or few......

Howdy fellow Army musician Bradley,
I’d consider selling this keyboard with at least 1 key per number...$750

In that last picture, what's the story on #55 and #56? Are they Model A keys? Aftermarket for Model T?

Heck no they’re not Model A keys. If you think they are and that I would represent A keys on a T keyboard, then you should have your gall trimmed. I would think they’re aftermarket just due to the shape and absence of Ford script. I removed them and polished so the numbers may be seen...Wasn’t A keys from Briggs & Stratton ?

I don't think I'd refer to this as a support group for his illness.
More like a group of enablers.

Wonder why the repo switches are all made for #55 to fit. Was it a random choice, or is there something special about it?

I can appreciate your obsession. I became infatuated with the beauty and individuality of the keys while working with switches. These treasures have gained such delight and allure as they have aged. It's interesting how objects we have around us can become so fascinating.
I bought a few recently but won't reach your abundance.

Don,
In this case I think I need enablers more so than not!

Funny thing about the font used on your key board. It was actually the font used by Dodge Brothers for their logo and other related print matter.

I did notice that font was pretty Dodge Brothers-like too. Nice collection Bradley!

Wish I could afford a "vintage" key board but since I can't I bought one of the "repros" and collected all the keys necessary to fill it.
