[CW] Begali Bug

You might know that GHD has produced a fully-automatic bug (dots and dashes)
using photo sensors.

You can see it at MorseX http://www.morsex.com

Look under GHD.

that I always wanted to have but couldn't find. (the incredible Magnetic
Traveler is the latest example) What I'm currently trying to coax him into
is to build a fully automatic (dots and dashes) mechanical bug.  I think he
has taken the bait, and he's seriously thinking about a traditional bug
(just automatic dots) and a fully automatic bug [both would be using
magnetic action rather than springs, and have his hallmark gold/palladium
plated bases].  He approaches this more as a mechanical challenge to build
the very best rather than with great hopes for a commercial success.  Still,
it would help my case with him if I could project how many of those he could
sell, and what a realistic market price would be.  Any suggestions?
