Thanks Guys! That’s a start. From what I’m seeing, the vibrator isn’t showing any signs of life. Trying to get it to function with a dim bulb tester didn’t work. I may be able to find a solid state alternative for that, which leaves the rechargeable cell to look into.
I picked up this radio at an auction 5-6 years ago when I was just starting my AM radio fascination. Got it for a steal (I thought)! Didn’t know what I was getting myself into. It’s a neat radio anyway. Kind of has a Rube Goldberg vibe! Thanks again! - Rob
