The J-36 Bug Census Project page has been created to gather information on existing Signal Corporation J-36 bug type telegraph keys, in order to calculate estimated production numbers of the various manufacturers and orders.

If you have a J-36, whether it was manufactured by Vibroplex, Bunnell, Lionel or Brooklyn Metal Stamping Company, or know of anyone in your radio club or community who may have one, Rich wants to hear from you.
