I added a ground connection. No change. Tried adjusting the vibrator.  No dice. So I purchased several NOS vibrators from Playthings and although one of them is quieter, the strong RF noise persists. I rechecked the vibrator components and wiring.  All was in order, with the exception of #50 choke. According to the schematic, it should be .5 ohms, but measures 5 ohms. Is this cause for concern? The radio works, but the noise makes it unbearable.
