Informationen zur Vibroplex "J-36"



















Vibroplex J-36
Order No.: 21984-Phila-42
Serial No.: 1684
Date : 6 - 27 - 42


The WWII semiautomatic key made by Vibroplex for the Army Signal Corps was the military version of the company's Lightning Bug and also manufactured by other companies to meet wartime requirements..
These are somewhat scarcer than the Lionel version.
They have a metal nameplate which occurs in several variations: small and large pre-WWII Fulton Street plates,
and two WWII small plates with either Fulton Street or 833 Broadway addresses.
Each plate includes the order number and date, as well as a stamped serial number.
This particular one is an excellent example of one made by Vibroplex and it still has the "Signal Corps, U.S. Army" ID plate which many radio operators took home as souvenirs.
According to Tom French's Vibroplex Collector's Guide, the Vibroplex J-36 was made from 1935 to 1943.
