I've completely recapped this radio (except for the capacitor attached to the volume control that is used for tone compensation), and I tried hooking the vibrator up to my variac and running it with 6V AC and all the way up to 24V AC and the Vibrator is not wanting to respond I was even trying to gently tap the vibrator housing to see if I could get it to start that way, and nothing.

So a couple of questions, how common is it for these Vibrators to be Dead, including NOS ones, and do these vibrators actually make an audible humming noise when they are running properly?

I just seem to keep hitting roadblocks with this radio and I really want to get this radio working because its a really neat radio.

We haven't heard anything regarding getting this set going.
Did the replacement vibrator do the trick.

That update you quoted was about the new vibrator, the NOS vibrator was dead too, and I tried "shocking" it back to life and it wouldn't work, and I'm not sure what else to try because apparently it's not responding to low voltage AC current shocks, or physical shocks (light tapping).
