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.
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.

Very nice! And it does look brand new!
That's not serial number 88, is it? ;)
It's "882".
well, pretty close!
