[Elecraft] OT: "Bug" key Dot Stabilizer Infomercial

[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.  Original theory of 
operation and some pictures of the original McElroy device and several 
of my prototypes at www.artifaxbooks.com/dotstabilizer.htm (pix of mine 
at the bottom of that page)

I make them for all the popular makes & models currently available and 
can custom 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.  
Current items in inventory fit All Vibroplex models with the round 
pendulum, All McElroy models with the round pendulum All metric sized 
(such as the TW Olympic) and all models that use the flat pendulum arm 
to include metric sizes such as the Frattini Prestige Deluxe and all 
models of the military J-36 and current reproductions of it.

This may be the last offering as I'm considering stopping production of 
these for a while due to other commitments so if you really need one (or 
more), get your request in.
