[CW] Two New Additions

[Gary H. Harmon, Jr.]

Two new additions to the family came today.

 

>From the picture I saw, both looked like left handed bugs.  

 

The grey base bug is an original left handed one.  I had some weights that
fit the shaft and after cleaning the contacts it works great.  Need wire
screw nuts to complete the picture.

 

The black Champion was a weird bird.  It also looked like a left handed one
but after several hours of eyeballing and checking pictures I discovered
someone had flipped a normal bug upside down to try and make it a left
handed one.  That explained why nothing looked right and wouldn't line up.
I ripped it all apart, added feet, and put it back together.  It is much
happier now.  I will have to order a square weight, some tapered screws, and
wire screw nuts.

 

Mystery solved.  Feels good.
