Ah, I had forgotten about that and I can't view videos.

Also going from ancient electronics experience (I earned my first dollar as a kid fixing a radio rather than mowing a lawn!) and possibly-poor memory, switching to negative ground shouldn't damage the radio but it also may not function if reversed. However, the radio circuitry itself runs on AC that is created by the vibrator and transformer and I can't imagine how reversing the polarity would make it work any differently unless there are some capacitors that might also have to be reversed. If you have a modern electronic device in place of the original mechanical vibrator, it would have to be replaced but otherwise it should be okay.
