Wow! I also had a Globechief transmitter and J-38 straight key for 
several years! Mine was the Globechief Deluxe. Bought it in August of 
1961, a month after I got my Novice Class License. Crystals were only 
three dollars back then, and I got a bunch from Universal Service 
Radio in Columbus, Ohio. They've changed their name now and are 
located  just outside of Columbus in Reynoldsburg.
