Vintage Car Radio Vibrator Refurbishment

Note: do not attempt to test the vibrator by hooking it directly to a 12V source. Test it only by reconnecting it into the radio or using a current-limiting power supply. The former is ideal since, as I mention in the video, a bypass capacitor is necessary for the vibrator contacts to not wear excessively. In addition, the inductance of the transformer windings helps the vibrator to work properly. Radio removal instructions: https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/mo...
