Vibroplex Standard Blue Racer Excellent Condition, Year 1957, 833 Broadway, NY S/N 202198

The Standard Blue Racer is a compact, high-speed semi-automatic "bug" on a 2.5" base — popular with CW operators for its smooth action and smaller footprint compared to the Original model. The chrome-plated mechanism, black base, and gold nameplate (as seen in your photos) make this a very attractive example.
Classic Vibroplex Blue Racer semi-automatic telegraph key from the late 1950s. Serial number 202198 with the desirable "833 Broadway, New York" address on the gold nameplate.Features:
  • Compact 2.5" black base with chrome-plated mechanism
  • Smooth, adjustable high-speed action (ideal 20–40+ WPM)
  • Black paddle and damper wheel
  • Fully functional and ready to use
This is a very nice example with bright chrome, clean base, and strong mechanical condition — perfect for daily CW operation or display in a vintage station. A favorite among boatanchor and Collins enthusiasts.
