I'd recommend picking up a solid-state replacement vibrator.

Make sure you choose the one for positive ground

Sometimes you can get an original one unstuck by removing it from the chassis and rapping it against your workbench a few times (sounds crude but it sometimes loosens the frozen contacts... which are like a set of points inside the can, similar to what's on a distributor). Prying the crimped edge of the can off of the base to spray some contact cleaner on the points sometimes works too but it's a bit involved. Personally, I'd just pick up one of these SS units and see if you can get some life out of the radio to start.
