OK, well I guess I'll have to see what I can do with mine, although I don't really trust myself with a "cheater cord" hooked up to a vibrator with aligator clips and plugged into a live variac and trying to bang the vibrator against my workbench table and not accidentally have an aligator clip fly off and short against something...

Use a 60 watt lamp in series with the coil, then type getting it to vibrate.
The foam rubber lining was a tendency to react with the contacts, even on a brand new unit.
Open up the can on the original vibrator and see what can be done with it.
