Attention CW "Bug" users. Just a short reminder if you're experiencing
"scratchy" dot problems due to contact bounce on your bug, I've
resurrected Ted McElroy's mechanical "Dot Stabilizer" which, when
installed and properly adjusted, helps eliminate around 90 percent of
this problem. Doesn't wear out and gives more positive control than a
piece of foam inserted in the movable contact. It can be easily
installed (and removed if you sell the key and want to keep the
stabilizer for another one). It works by placing a very small amount of
tension on the moving dot contact to prevent bounce as the contacts
separate which is the primary cause of the problem.
I make them for all the popular makes & models currently available
including the ones with the flat pendulum arms. I even have the
dimensions for the Metric sized pendulums, both round and flat.
Contact me off list please w0eb at cox.net <mailto:w0eb at cox.net> for
pricing or further information.
