In addition to the vibrator possibly starting to work ( if it is working you will hear a faint humming or buzzing sound when radio is turned on) another issue could be the antenna or lead in wire. If the antenna mast is grounded or lead in wire has been damaged so center conductor is touching the grounded cable shield or if the antenna plug is not tight in the radio or antenna connection that can also be a reason for no sound coming from the radio.
As to the J 5981 tool for removing the door handle clips, I have not seen any of the real Packard tools but it would probably be easy enough to make something by cutting a notch in an offset or bent putty knife that is a bit wider and has a 1/4" or so longer depth than the square shaft. Smooth or radius the corners and edge of the putty knife so they do not catch on upholstery or scratch the metal panels.
There was an older K-D tool I think is mostly for the GM curved spring clips that will work. The one I have is a K-D No. 43 which is an old number and may be superseded or obsolete. It or something similar might still be found on ebay.
