I (kinda) helped a friend fix an early car radio recently.
There were at least 2 dozen different types of vibrators made-just cuz it fits in the socket doesn't mean it's the right one.
We had to really search for one cap., it was INSIDE of the transformer housing. And burn't to a crisp.
Best would be to post the schematic-lots of good radio fixer-uppers on here.
There are 6-to-12 volts converters available also-and properly ground it-pos. or neg.

Just an update. I found that two wax caps that WERENT replaced were dripping wax and blackened, i got the replacement in today and one tube was really low. The tube still in the mail but.. id love to know who he paid this much for a partial recap.

If it still doesnt work ill order the new cans from that d&h outfit.
