I too have the original, but non working radio in my '35 Fordor. It would be neat to get working....and add a bluetooth connection so I could actually have something to listen to.

I repaired the vibrator in my Herbrand coil tester. It is essentially the same as the radio vibrators. The problem was the rubber liner inside the can deteriorated leaving rubber goo residue coating the points. A thorough cleaning and a small points adjustment and it worked like a champ. I learned about this on an antique radio forum.
