Need Parts-- Vibro J-36

[Keith Rowland]

Dave,

The Vibroplex Company was bought in 1994 by Mitch, WA4OSR, who is the
first ham ever to own the company.  You can probably obtain parts from
him, and I think you could probably get your key professionally rebuilt
by his company.

You might want to contact them about your needs.

THE VIBROPLEX COMPANY, INC.
11 Midtown Park East
Mobile, AL  36606-4141
1-800-840-8873
FAX  334-476-0465

73,

Keith
