Hello all
Did the earliest Diamond Disc machines (such as A-250, A-200) come with dolphin keys or the Brunswick type key? I think the E key came later. I want to get an appropriate key for my A-200. I am relatively certain that the early key only had one slot cut in the tooth, not two.
Thanks
John Robles

The A-200 indeed uses the "single slot" dolphin key, assuming yours has the original lock.
