Nov (?) QST had a cheap suggestion. There is a gadget that attaches to
the sides of a carpenter's triangle to hold a setting when they are
making lots of repetitive cuts. A pair sell for about $3.50 at your
local building supply store. They are brass colored and attach nicely to
the arm, either in place of or in addition to the stock weight. I found
adding one of these to my original weight (no room for more) slowed the
dits down nicely.
Another example of hamgenuity improvising a product for an unintended
use. But, I much prefer being able to reach over and turn the knob on
my K3/KX3.

Vibroplex makes several different weights for these bugs. However, I always
just used the large solder wrapped on top of the original weight. The new
weights are on this page:

Steve,
I also have been playing with a couple of bugs. I converted one to a
lefthanded bug. Trying to be able to send with either hand. I can send
reasonably clean CW with either hand at about 10 to 15 WPM. To slow down
the original bug I have used extra washers on the shaft and also wrapped
several turns of solder. You might want to try the CW reflector for more
info.
Good luck

With enough THRUST pig fly just fine.

I'm looking for a vary-speed attachment for my newly acquired 1943 Vibroplex
Original plus a couple of extra weights to experiment with.
Anyone?
Off list please.
