The "no-load" voltage of the 6V Lantern Battery I have is around 5.5V and when I hooked the radio up to the battery and turned it on and measured the voltage the voltage was 1.5V on the battery so there was a voltage drop of about 4V on the battery.
Do you think the Vibrator could be bad? Also what's the purpose of those Vibrators in these old battery radios?
