[Elecraft] OT: Monthly Bug Dot Stabilizer info

[Jim's Desktop]

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 and 
also can make them to fit almost any bug if you can provide me with a 
picture of the key and diameter or thickness of the pendulum arm.

Off list contact please to w0eb at cox.net for pricing or further 
information.
