You're almost right... actually the most expensive part of the station in the picture is the straight key. The headphones were bought at Wal-Mart at least eight years ago for about $30.00 dollars.

Both took several hours each, spread over a couple of evenings, mostly because of my problem with shaky hands. Thanks for the comment!
