J.H. BUNNELL "GOLD BUG" (1922) tested by IK0IXI
Inviato: 13 settembre 2012, 11:33A brief test regarding an old morse key "GOLD BUG" made by J.H. BUNNELL Co. in early '20es. No reference to "The Gold-Bug" by Edgar Allan Poe......HI!! It's a semi-automatic telegraph key (generally refered to as a Bug). Due to its poor handling, this key was not very popular. Despite its bad reputation, this one works very fine. They were difficult to sell (less of 1,000 sold). This one is from my keys collection (S/N 230).
