Telegraph Key CW - Vibroplex - Military J36 Signal Corp U.S. Army - 'bug'

Description

GRAY GHOST SERIES REFURBISHED KEY 2021 - If you are looking for a J36 Key, this is the one for you. Here is a Vibroplex, U.S. Army Signal Corp J36 'bug' with wedge cord attached, circa 1940. All parts on this Key are original and all I did was clean and polish the hardware on this key. See pictures. I show the Key Wedge in use hooked to a J38 Key (J38 is not for sale). This is an extremely nice working 'bug' and it looks great for its age. Serial Number is #1383 (what I can read). Nice 'bug' indeed.....a rare to find.
See 'other items' for more GRAY GHOST series Keys when available....

DISCLAIMER: Please note that the Keys I restore/refurbish are not meant to diminish the integrity of the keys for those using Morse code keys as an Amateur Radio Operator or serious Collector. The majority of these keys that I refurbish are in really bad shape (where most would be thrown away as junk). I try to restore the best I can, using original parts, or what I can get at a local hardware store. I add a ‘flare’ of ‘color’ to enhance the keys, and ‘naming’ a particular group of keys for the year that they were refurbished. I have been doing this since 2010. Starting originally at local Ham-Fest, then using eBay starting in 2018. These keys are not made to ‘offend’ anyone or any manufacturer of a particular key, but to restore an old key for someone that may get some enjoyment using a good looking old key. 73's…..Bill
