[NJARC] Mallory Vibrator Type 245

[john ruccolo]

I remember at one of our clinics 4-5 years ago, a guy
brought in the radio from a Nash Metropolitan. Guess
who got to work on it? Anyway, the vibrator was stuck,
and Gary D. gave it a couple of good bangs against the
side of a table and "woke it up."

After some caps, the radio played like a charm.

So, Derm, try rapping your vibrator a few times
against a hard surface. And always replace those
"buffer" caps in the vibrator circuit.

Regards,

John
