Two questions:  

1.  Why did they not use vibrator power supplies instead of dynamotors in WWII?  They ought to be cheaper and easier to build.

2.  I have the transformers out of an old RCA Carfone vibrator power supply.  Tried to make a DC power supply out of them.  They do not work all that well with 115V 60Hz on the secondary.  Anyone know why?
