[Elecraft] OT: FS Vibroplex "Original Deluxe" bug

[Jim Sheldon]

Any Vibroplex bug operators or collectors out there?  I have for sale, one,
decent condition, Vibroplex "Original Deluxe" model, serial number 2237xx
which indicates that it was manufactured somewhere around 1962.  This is the
chrome plated one.  As with most Vibroplex models of this vintage, the
little red plastic button on top of the pivot yoke is missing  There are a
few minor blemishes on the chrome, but overall it's an 8 of 10.  It comes
with the original small weight, and a nicely machined, home made heavier
brass weight that tames the speed down a bit.  Minimum speed with the
original weight is around 25 wpm,  and with the heavier weight it will slow
to 15 or so.  I will include a very nicely done home made carrying case,
constructed of Baltic Birch plywood and lined with green pool table felt.
It's the same size and shape as the old, leatherette covered, Vibroplex
Case.

Current production price on this key is $229.95 plus shipping & handling.

I'll let this one go with the carrying case for $175.00 plus whatever
shipping for the method you desire to get it safely to you.

I'll accept PayPal (add 3.9 percent to the total), certified check or money
order.

Anyone interested, please contact me off list.
