Description: Are heavy weights making your bug feel sluggish or heavy handed? Did you try adding a stair gauge and it just didn't get the results you want? Try a pendulum extension and you may be surprised with the results. Every bug is unique, but most bugs will have no problem slowing down to about 15 wpm, and still be easily adjustable and controllable up to around 25 wpm. I typically use this with a small weight, but you can use a medium or large weight as well. Experiment with different weight positions and configurations and find your sweet spot! See my demonstration here: https://youtu.be/aBOo9duU9Tg NOTE: This is for ROUND pendulums on both vintage and late model Vibroplex bugs such as the Original (including Deluxe and Presentation models), #4 Blue Racer, or Junior. If you have a flat pendulum model like a Champion, Zephyr, or Lightning bug...this will NOT work for you. If you have a McElroy Mac Key, contact me and I may be able to make you a custom fit extension. I'm a huge fan of Vibroplex, Bunnell, McElroy, and other manufacturers of telegraph / ham radio keys and bugs. CW / Morse Code is my favorite pastime. I love to operate bugs, but I prefer to QRS down to around 18 wpm and relax into a nice ragchew. I've experimented with many combinations of weights, stair gauges, and other solutions, and I found that extending the pendulum gives me very consistent results with a nice smooth operation of the key and a great feel. 73 and hope to hear everyone on the air!
