Vibroplex Bug Original Standard circa 1965
$75 most eBay sales $100 plus
The Vibroplex Original is a genuine piece of history. First patented in 1904, the Original
is still manufactured today, using tools and dies very similar to those used by its inventor,
Horace G. Martin, when he revolutionized the telegraph industry with his "Bug." The Bug is
designed for code speeds ranging from approximately 20 wpm on the low side to 50+ wpm
on the high side. Today, operators using the Original can have the same experience
pioneer telegraph and railroad operators felt over a century ago. Owning this beautifully
crafted instrument will link you to a great tradition. The quality and pride of ownership of a
Vibroplex Bug cannot be matched. Weight 4 lbs. Cord not included.

is a 2-bulb sealed beam revolving grote light. In the middle is a 4-bulb sealed
beam revolving grote light, all three revolving lights has a Amber ( orange-ish ) lens. The value is in
the lights themselves with the heavy duty wiring cable. If you went to
replace these lights,they would cost you at least $263.00
