48 Packard Radio

Just can't stay away

I think my radio vibrator is defective anyone know where I can get another and about how much it will cost. Anyone with experience with the solid state vibrators I see those being offered by Radio Daze for about $30.00 as usual thanks for your help in advance!

Solid state is the only way to go.
Make sure you change the buffer capacitor when you install the new vibrator.(This would be a perfect time to recap it if it hasn't been done already)

Check out www.nostagliaair.org They may have a Ryder print of your radio.

I think he is referencing replacing all the capacitors at the same time to eliminate one of those going bad on you in the near future.

Thanks I think I'll see if I can get it to play before I dive into replacing all the caps. Have ordered a solid state vibrator and a new buffer cap.
