[TenTec] TenTec/Vibroplex

[Ron Notarius WN3VAW]

Vibroplex has changed hands at least a couple of times in the last 15-20
years, and I know they've moved at least once.  So, it's easy enough to
conclude that the "Vibroplex of old" is indeed long gone.

While I haven't seen any of the new keys, I do know this:  A friend borrowed
my Brass Racer (which I've owned for about 10-12 years) until he could get a
key of his own.  He bought a new one, returned it within 10 days, saying it
just wasn't the same (but not going into more specifics), and ended up with
a Bencher.

Not surprising to me. I bought a new Vibroplex Blue Racer
2000 in early 2001 and it was a mess.  Tool marks, chrome
imperfections, poorly aligned contacts.... I sent it back.


I think the Vibroplex or old is no more.
