My First Vibroplex

This is the first Vibroplex I have ever owned! Isn't it beautiful? So now I have to figure out where my ham rig is...

Sweet! I've got a Vibrokeyer I use with my rigs and love it. I never could get the iambic thing down as I did all my high-speed code with a single-lever keyer, and that's what stuck.
Is that a brand-new one?
I've got a couple of friends who bought new bugs and paddles from them and the quality has really gone downhill from what it used to be.

Very nice! And it does look brand new!

That's not serial number 88, is it? ;)

It's "882".

Roberta X said...

well, pretty close!

My first was a silver Vibroplex bug built sometime a bit after WW2. That was followed by a Gold-bug. I still have two Vibroplex keyer paddles---a Gold dual paddle and a "Deluxe" single paddle keyer.

I've never really gotten used to squeeze keying. I use the single paddle most.
