I have been collecting (not seriously) some morse code devices and really like the T. R. McElroy and Telegraph Apparatus Company bugs. I aquired a couple of Vibroplexs as well. I am in the process of restoring some very badly damaged vibroplexs using the techniques from the book titled "How to Restore Telegraph Keys" by WR Smith. See WR Smiths Page for more information.
