[Elecraft] [OT] New Vibroplex

[Phil Hystad]

LS,

Reminds me of my old Vibroplex Original Key I had as a Novice in the 1960s.  But, that clacking noise of the mechanical key is something else.  I did like my Vibroplex (and, even have another one now) but much prefer my Begali Paddle due to its sweet movement and soft silence when being used.

Have fun with the new toy though.
