When I made my initial post yesterday, I forgot to mention some very 
pertinent information about the device.

The theory and pictures of the McElroy original device can be seen at 
http://artifaxbooks.com/dotstabilizer.htm and Tom French, W1IMQ who owns 
and maintains that historical site, graciously posted links to several 
pictures of the ones that I make, mounted on 3 different make & models 
of my own bugs along with my email address.  You can find the pictures 
and links near the bottom of that page.

The ones I currently make are specifically for the Vibroplex, Speed-X 
and McElroy keys that have the pendulum that the weights slide on. At 
this time, I do not make them for those with the flat pendulum such as 
the Vibroplex Lightning Bug, Champion or the old military J-36 bugs.   I 
do, however, have a prototype in "beta test" that I believe will fit the 
flat pendulum keys so hopefully I'll be able to offer one for those 
models in the very near future.

Hope this clears up any questions.
