Very interesting, especially the part about having lots of tension on 
the dot lever coil spring.  I struggled to make clean dots for years 
until AC7AC mentioned this to me!

I've made a new year's resolution to use my bugs exclusively in 2006 
(except for contests).   I personally like the Lightning Bug style, but 
after reading your notes, maybe I will set up an Original and Lightning 
side by side to see the difference.  I hope to hear plenty of mechanical 
speed keys this year!
