Hello everyone, I had a question maybe someone can help me with, as I can't find the answer on other sources: I have a Blue Racer from the 1950's; it has had...
Hi Theo, I have two bugs, a champion and a zephyr, from that time period (1957 & '58) with that kind of screw in the square weight. They may well have been ...
Theo, It sounds to me like what you have is actually a weight, or just the screw portion, from a Speed-X key. It wasn't unusual for people to exchange the...
After looking at Pete's Zephyr and Champion bugs I can clearly see that these are NOT the type of screws I was refering to and I was wrong about my assement....
Hi Pete, Thanks for that; indeed the screws on mine are the same as the ones I see in your pictures. Great collection by the way, with lots of variety! My...
An interesting thought... The other day I had an old Dah Round Paddle that I was working on from a 1917 Original. I pulled the screw out of the paddle and...

Hi Pete, Thanks for posting this. The key in the picture and mine are identical in every detail, including the lack of any chrome on the shovel head screws. ...
I must not have had the serial # because if I know it, I would have included it in the filename. I blew up the picture and can make out some of the umbers,...
Hello all, Just a warning for everyone; Even if someone has sold a lot of Vibroplexes on Ebay, don't think they will know how to package them properly for...
When I purchase a bug of any kind, I ask the seller to refer to this page before shipping: http://www.telegraph-office.com/pages/pack.html or at the very least...
Talk about a nightmare. I purchased a 1944 Vibroplex Zephyr on eBay a couple of months ago and the seller "packed" it rolled in 3 layers of small bubble wrap...
I found two discrepancies in John Elwood WW7P's vibroplex dating document: http://www.la.ca.us/frandy/dating.html (or on the Vibroplex website) I emailed John...
HI guys. Yes, I agree with Pete. I always ask to remove at least the arm before shipping; it is the best way to avoid damages. I wish you Happy 2011 !! Fabio,...
Hi Pete, I uploaded a picture of my Blue Racer, serial 187185 to your album. You can see the screws are the same. It must mean that there are a lot of other...
I'm glad to help !! Happy New Year! 73, Pete K5PRT ... other keys out there with the same screws since these two keys differ by circa 2,000 units ? ... some ...
Hi, All - At the risk of seeming to be a heretic, I thought you might like to see another approach to slowing down a classical bug without doing it any injury....
Hi All. I'm new to the group and have a basic question- the answer to which is probably "It depends...". I will go ahead and ask anyway. Suggestions are most...
Hi, I own some of the oldest Vibroplexes which are known to exist. I would never change the condition of such an old key but it is not possible to give an...
