[CW] This is a Vibroplex ??

Tue, 14 Jan 2003 22:52:50 -0400

Well, well, contrary to the hammer analogy; this "thing" has (what looks
like) a genuine Vibroplex base; and I really don't know what's inside the
case of that "keyer"--and you may very well find the components of a
semi-automatic "bug" encased in there. Can there exist something as a
"semiautomatic keyer" (aka "manual keyer?)  Could a patent application be on
record for such a self-contradiction in the rich history of Morse Code
operation in the past Century?.  Well, if there exists such a thing , and if
a "bug" of some sort is hidden inside that case, then you may be seeing a
"Vibroplex keyer" indeed--although I wouldn't understand why you would need
any such "keyer" at all (unless the "clank clank", abundant play side play
and "aerobic" calory-consumming motions of bug operations are somehow
alleviated by a miniscule protrusion that comes out of that "keyer"'s box.
Theories about this mysterious apparatus are bound to be endless if you
want, hi hi... Oh my....!  This e-Bay offering is funny indeed; let's see
how many e-Bayers place a bid!   =;-)
