- Notes
- Eddystone Bug S689.
There is a tripod yoke that looks like a miniature version of the Vibroplex Lightning Bug's yoke. The arm moves on a pivot pin held in position by that yoke's top. Tiny steel balls sandwiched in concave surfaces on the pivot pin give the key a great feel. The dumper is a rubber grommet fitted on an "L" bracket that is adjustable within a slotted track at the bug's front. The base and case is cast iron and the mechanism is made of brass.
