I am working on the old vibrator just now. I have a newer solid state model, but hope to use the old one while getting the radio running.
The old vibrator don't vibrate. The can is open, it looks like a pretty simple device - an electromagnet running a those vibrating contacts. I have tried tweaking it here and there. If the magnet draws as it should, it should be a matter of cleaning the contacts and adjusting the gaps around the contact, right? Does anyone possess first hand knowledge of reviving these vibrators?
I might point out that I am a long ways away from the old surplus parts that drift around the American market...

Oh. and Truckernix, can you insert station labels in your tan buttons? If not, what do you do?
