[Milsurplus] [Boatanchors] WTB vibrator

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Ken & Dennis,

VB-12-A, VB-13-A and VB-11-A  ((6, 12, 24 volts respectively) are the only 
vibrators that the Signal Corps used that I know of that will fit an octal 
socket.  However, the jumpering was done by another plug in a socket mounted 
in the supply.  The common for the vibrator contacts are all on pin 8 and 
the coil in all of the Series ones are on pin 4 but the fixed contacts are on 
1 and 7, 2 and 6, and 3 and 5 respectively,   I hadn't paid any attention 
before to how the vibrators and circuits in the AVA-126A were wired.  But I 
now know that I have never seen one of the vibrators.  

However, if one were willing to put the necessary jumpers on the vibrator 
socket, I would guess you could use any one of the six (three each Series and 
3 each Shunt) Signal Corps ones.  But changing primary voltage would 
require changing the jumpers.  Or you might hide a socket somewhere and make three 
jumper plugs.
