[R-390] Vibroplex bug?

[wjneill at consolidated.net]

Look on eBay.  There's lots listed daily and there's many different models.

I still have the Vibroplex bug I used several light years ago as a near
virginal telegrapher on the M-K-T RR and it 
ain't goin nowheres.  Many of the telegraphers I worked with customized
theirs in various ways and some were far 
nicer than the stock model I owned.

Hi all,

A friend of mine has inherited a very nice Vibroplex bug from his grand
mother from when she worked for the 
Pennsylvania Railroad back in the '30's.

No idea how old this thing is, Serial no. is 71923, hand painted gold trim,
black cast iron base, crunchy wiring, 
wooden box with tole paper covering.  She must have been good at that code
stuff!

He's wondering what it might be worth.

Thanks,

Joe
