Vintage Vibroplex Vibrokeyer Single Lever Paddle Ham Radio Morse Code CW -- 1961

Description: Vintage Vibroplex Vibrokeyer Standard Model Single Lever Paddle Serial Number 217036--manufactured 1961 This paddle is in excellent shape, tested and working fine. The chrome hardware has no significant flaws (see photos). This Vibroplex model was the first single lever paddle for use with electronic keyers in Amateur Radio in 1960. It has a solid steel base and a lever arm with mechanical spring action on both sides. Unlike iambic paddles that can be squeezed to send individual letters, a single lever paddle is a single arm that pivots between the dit and dah contacts for clean sounding code sent with the electronic keyer in your transceiver. The Vibrokeyer has long been the go-to standard for DXpeditioners for the fastest, snappiest CW transmission. The knob and thumb piece arrangement reminiscent of the "bug" keys is the most ergonomically correct for CW operation.As stated above, Vibroplex started making the Vibrokeyer in 1960.
