Yes, this is a direct modern replacement for vintage vibrators and will function the same.
Product Reviews
The new solid state vibrator tube is a significant technological advance from the original mechanical contact point vibrator. I can vividly remember as a kid trying to make old vibrator tubes work by hitting them against a wall to try to make them work again. The new vibrator tube eliminates the mechanical function and offers long-term reliability. If you are restoring an old car radio this tube is essential. Antique Electronic Supply offers the tube at a reasonable price and provides an excellent on-line order platform. Their shipping communication is excellent and my 1957 car radio has found it’s voice again. I am a very pleased customer.
Great product, works perfectly. Great replacement for the old mechanical unit. Good value, amazing they make these for 61 year old car radios.
Very good service and very good product, the radio of my cadillac is working again. Très bonne solution pour le remplacement des anciens vibrateurs souvent cause de pannes.
great fast shipping
Really happy with this being a solid state 'drop in' replacement and the price is lower than a new standard replacement. Most places are trying to sell used or re-furbished originals and I didn't want to go that route, this fit the bill nicely!
Direct, drop-in replacement that works silently. Should be cheaper, however. Judging from the weight, mostly air inside.
