MARTIN EARLY "MODEL X" - 1912
IKØIXI's last purchase and restoring
Produced between 1911 and 1919, this early version has a wonderful old fashioned appearance.
Starting May 14, 2010 I founded the VCA-Vibroplex Collector's Association, a no-profit on-line club between key collectors, for bug-related informations, images and documents sharing. I've decided to create this web site because I'm a little keys collector and I needed to be part of an international association bringing together who share my love for keys. In my country there is no tradition of the bug. It is a key that was never officially used and is not widespread.
Since it did not exist, I thought I'd create VCA myself. That's incredible that "the oldest name in ham radio - The Vibroplex" had no a collector's site.
A special thanks to Scott Robbins-W4PA, owner of Vibroplex Co.: we can use the name and logo of his famous key factory!
This is a free association, NO membership fee, NO money, NO donations; just a common site where anybody like to collect old and new Vibroplex key can meet other collectors, see documents, share images....Everyone can send interesting documents of photos to VCA. Please help !
The association is open to anyone collect bugs, even in small number. Each will be assigned a membership number and will receive a membership certificate for free in ,pdf format. Just send me an email:
The VCA web page will house links to personal web sites, but who does not have his home site may contact VCA to show his collection online.
Join VCA Yahoo Group!
PLEASE HELP VCA WITH YOUR PHOTOS, LINKS OR DOCUMENTS!!
THANKS YOU !!!
