[Elecraft] vibroplex bug

[jpgabbard]

I hit on an inexpensive way to slow down my bug. I took a crimp on connector like is used on the DC cable and spread it apart so it will slide over the end of the vibrating arm's tip. Get a 1/4" X 1/2" bolt, washers and nut. insert the bolt upside down through the hole in the connector. Start adding washers plus the nut till you slow it down to the speed you want. it worked great for me. Good Luck, John  KF7OM
