I just picked up a 1970 Delco radio with a capacitor that looks like it leaked at some point. I have not tested the radio yet. The capacitor that leaked is a Delco 7310185. Due to its positioning I cannot read any of the values marked on the can. Do you have that part, or know a cross-reference part or where I might get a replacement? Thank you.

We do not have sufficient reference materials to confirm the values of the cap in question by the part number provided. You would need to determine the values and go off of those. We would suggest either trying once again to access the cap or locating a schematic to determine the required values.
I have that p/n7310185 in my Radio.
The circle connection is 850 MFD, 16 Volt
The square connection is 400 MFD, 16 Volt
The triangle connection is 250 MFD, 16 Volt
No Mark connection is 4 MFD, 11.5 Volt
Hope this helps someone

Have an old allstate 6 volt radio that's neg ground. I want to install in my 1930 A model that's pos ground. Is there a way to do that.

We are unable to offer that type of technical support.
The power supply in old radios creates alternating current so the input voltage may not make any difference to anything but the vibrator. However, note that not all vibrators use the same pin-outs so be sure to get one that is appropriate for your radio.

Do you know the pin spacing for the 12VDC positive ground vibrator (P-V2015P)?

The pin spacing approximately 0.45"

what values do they use for the buffer capacitor ?
also do you have a electrical diagram for this?

You will need to use the original schematic for the device that you intend to plug this into for a diagram and buffer capacitor value.

Hello, I'm looking for a solid state replacement for the vibrator in a 1954 Pontiac radio (model 984817 if that's any help) where the original one is missing. I have previous experience servicing tube amps and therefore some electronics knowledge but I've never touched a circuit with a vibrator in the power supply. The original one is missing, the base it has along with the schematic I found call for a 4 pin one. The car was originally 6V with negative ground and is going to be rewired for a 12V, negative ground system. I assume the vibrator I should get is therefore the 4 pin, 12V negative ground option but I wanted to check with you just in case something might not work. Also, does the solid state vibrator still need the buffer cap across the power transformer secondary winding (just to know if I should order one & replace the heavily decayed original one or just remove it)?
Thank you for your attention and hope to hear back.

We aren't able to confirm that your plan is ideal, but replacing the buffer cap is recommended even when replacing the original vibrator with a solid state replacement.

Good quiet power
I bought a 6 volt negative and it works pretty good! Goes in my 1951 pontiac radio.
Perfect, did the trick.
worked great, put in buffer capacitor also along with the other tubes and now the 1952 Hudson radio works.
Installed in 49 Plymouth-replaced a couple of old leaky caps and works great! Thanks
The Vibrator does the job however the automotive environment especially early applications is harsh regarding voltage and these units are very delicate. Make sure of voltage/polarity/voltage regulation before re-installing your radio.You will not get a second chance to correct things like you would a conventional vibrator.
This 6v Vibrator works just like factory part and is solid state component. I have used these for a few years now and have never had one fail yet. There is also a solid state oz4 rectifier but can't find it in Antique Electronic Supply component list.
This product solved my 6V neg ground vib problem. It might have been useful if supplied with
a pinout drawing. That because the radio had an odd pinout and I had to change the socket to
plug in a standard vib. The old radio drawings are very weak in vib pinouts. As a secondary item,
I coud not find the socket for it at your store, found one elsewhere.
Have used these in several different radios and have always worked fine.
Works great...has some hash noise while running but you can add filters to dampen it.
