Kevin, thanks, but if I owned the key, I would know. I'm looking to purchase it if it is the right key.

The Brunswicks I have owned have all had the keys cut like the one you posted, but I can only guess that it will fit. My concern is that the key you've posted looks rather long for that machine, so it may look a little funny. Hard to tell without seeing it with your machine though. First world problems! :lol:

I have 2 of the model 35 Brunswick machines. one is earlier than the other and has a wood motor board. They each use a different key and they are not interchangeable. I think the one you need is the wreath key but there is really no way to know for sure, I guess.

Jan, your keys both have the correct teeth cut into them, which certainly helps Marty I would think. Your keys both look shorter also, my Brunswick BR-260 has the key like your lower one (same teeth also). The key Marty posted still looks too long, but it could just be the photo. I think mine is maybe 2 inches long, yours look to be about the same.

I have attached the key that came with my Brunswick, Model 122. I also attached two images of the volume control knob. I believe that this key is a correct Brunswick. The flash really accentuates the dust.

It appears that the wreath and the more plain key were used by Brunswick.

Thanks for all the responses and help

The key is 3 inches long. Too long?

The original key would probably have been 2 inches or so (sorry I'm not home to measure mine). 3 would probably stick out considerably and look a bit funny, but if it doesn't bother you and it works, get it! You can always find a better fitting one later one.
