The Original Blue Racer was patented in 1914 and was last noted in production in the mid-1960's. The Blue Racer - 2000 is designed for code speeds ranging from approximately 20 wpm on the low side to 50+ wpm on the high side.(http://www.vibroplex.com/blue_racer.html)

  • @schnickman55

    Thank you very much for the comment and for watching this video !!!

  • Can you have more than two weights on the key? I've never used one but it looks like the additional weights slow it down.  Looks like a device for experts only!

  • @LETCA

    Yes, the position of the weights change the transmission speed. It works as a pendulum.

    I saw a Vibroplex key with a third weight, but i think that is more appropriate

    to insert a varispeed like in this video:
