There is NO Stop on my Vibroplex Standard Keyer Paddle, only a center position where the springs hold the lever in the center.

That key uses the same two lever method of keying as the Vibroplex bug, the dash lever is the short lever which pivots independently of the longer dot lever.  You cannot make either of the two independent levers continue past the center point because their design prevents this, the lever only closes in one direction on each of the two levers'

     It seems to me there is a large difference in the feel of a keyer
used as a SS and a conventional SS. The keyer has a stop in the middle,
you can feel it as you go through the stop. A conventional SS has no
stop, merely the neutral position of the spring. To me this is a major
difference. I don't like the way my Vibrokeyer feels when used as a SS.
The pix shows a Vibrokeyer with one knob, an easy modification. Does not
affect what I am talking about.
