Me, too. My uncle Stu gave me the bug he used as radio operator on a bomber
over Europe. It's a Vibroplex (not Lionel or another maker, but the Real
Thing) Lightning bug with a 1941 manufacture date on the nomenclature plate.
It sends faster than I can receive, even with the weight all the way out. I
suppose I need to lengthen the pendulum with an extension bar.

Stu's SK now, but the bug still works fine. When he gave it to me, it was set
up for REALLY BIG MOVEMENTS of hand/fingers/wrist/arm/left_foot: the bar
looked like a grain flail at work, and the bug sounded like one, too.
