If the radio is not coming on-there is a fuse ahead of the radio input. Check to make sure it is ok. If still nothing from the radio-it probably is the vibrator-you will need to get it out and take it to someone familiar with antique radios unless you are comfortable with screwing around with them. I have had similar experience with my 47 radio and the vacuum antenna-Howard helped with the antenna which is not difficult to deal with. Assuming it is the vibrator=there is a capacitor-on back side of the rectifier tube-make sure you change it also otherwise you will find yourself replacing the vibrator again
