battery set info
#16

The cap they're talking about would closer to 0.005 or so at as much as 1600V. The ones you're looking at are probably across the 6V input line for RFI.
#17

Ah yes, When I removed the paper surround I found 3 more caps and one is .01 1000

but what does the .5 10 mean on the cap? what is the value?

Times I have been electrocuted in 2021
As of 1/01/2021
AC: 4 DC: 1
Last year: 6

Could well be a 10V cap if it's across the 6V input line.
#19

That high voltage is available from Mark Oppat.
I did my 6 volt zenith farm radio, and that one ended up with a 1600 volt cap.
I also bought a 6 volt sealed battery on ebay for $10.00 with free shipping. They are rechargeable too.
Vibrator will need to have contacts cleaned or re-built.
Good luck.
