When you turn it on, you should hear a hum from the vibrator.

The guy who worked on my radio wasn't a big fan of shipping these things, but I will PM you his contact info.
Here is a directory of folks in Southern California who work on vintage audio equipment, that might be a good bet as well. Southern California Vintage Audio Repair Directory

Vibrator isn't working then. Is there an inline fuse? Is the fuse okay?

The 0Z4 rectifier tube is another item that often fails.

Can’t stress enough to replace the capacitors first! Otherwise you might have one explode and/or cause a fire. I am speaking from experience as I’ve had it happen.
