    Yes I thought abt
    sending it back a few times....
    I have 3 of thier keys ... and the
    2 magnetic are always out of
    adjustment... . I like my
    spacing,weight, vert, hor, movements
    just so.... the spacing plate was way to
    thick they send with thier keys...
    might work out gd for you...
    When I got it said it was tuned ?
    right.... finger peaces were all crooked
    Guess I might be a fusser ...
    What works great for one might
    not work for the other. Choices
    choices... the main thing is enjoy
    your keys and paddles.
    The New Vibroplexes are a Big
    Dissapointment I say... machining
    is dull, dies wore out ... over extended
    life.... I know the older models I have
    are a much better Quality Bug.
    Take Care Ron... Its nice to have a
    Few Different Flavoured Cw machines
