Yes, Gordon is producing keys again. They are very nice for sure. I had a VHS for 15 years, but recently sold it. I bought a hand made key by Alberto Frattini, I1QOD, for about the same price and like it better. Alberto, I understand is the European High Speed champ and a retired machinest. He also makes a miniature version appropriate for QRP and travel, though i haven't seen it, and a bug! To my knowledge only three of his paddles are in the US now. Mine is serial # 0055, "double nickel."
You can write Alberto at <
