[Elecraft] Not necessarily an Elecraft subject!

[James Harris]

Good evening, All.
 
I recently acquired a Vibroplex "Original" with the idea of learning to use it attached to my K3/100 [S/N 2802].  I need to slow it down until I can get the "gist" of it.  I can now work at 18-22 wpm with my Iambic.  But I wouldn't dare try to get on the air even at the "bugs" slowest speed adjustment which is in the range of 30 wpm.
 
I would like to buy, lease or borrow a Varispeed {for a round shaft] until I can get up to speed with my new toy.  They are no longer available from Vibroplex.
 
I'd like to hear from anyone having such a device.   
 
Thanks & Best 73.

PS - I truly appreciate being able to use my K3 as a "practice keyer".  You know, in the TEST mode.  Thanks all the guys & gals @ Elecraft and the design team.  What a fantastic machine which never ceases to amaze.
