Without knowing Jim or his bug, let me say that this is a very good year
for Vibroplex Originals.  Vibroplex used various thicknesses of metal
for the mainsprings, and the thinner ones are capable of working
smoothly at lower speeds than the thicker ones. In the early '60's they
used springs as thin as 0.0125" (if I recall correctly), while
immediately earlier and later bugs used springs as thick as 0.018". Get
out your micrometers!

In any event, if I didn't already have a 1962 OD, this is one I would be
interested in.
