I have an old amplifier that uses a 6v Vibrator to get the HT. The one installed has an open coil. It is 6 pin. Type V5124 Oak Vibrator Unit Synchronous made in Australia. I tried to add a picture but was unsuccessful. Does anyone have one that I could have or buy? An equivalent would be great. Cheers Bryan ![]() |

Bryan, there are electronic replacements for vibrators now, either inserts or total replacements. Generally the quality of the contacts will be poor in a "vintage" vibrator - either thro material deterioration (eg rubber) or contact corrosion, so the newer electronic version seems a better option to me. There was even an item in the bulletin a couple of years ago, otherwise the likes of Antique Radio Supplies have "new" e-vibrator units at about US$30. Chrs, DC |

There is a guy in Christchurch who is manufacturing them for ZC1's I think - I don't recall his details but I'll make some enquiries and come back to you if you'd be happy to go the fandangled silly-cone way... if you're specifically after an original Oak unit, there were some sold on Trade Me a while back although I don't recall the specs - I'll see if I can find out - they do pop up every now and then.
Cheers
Steve

For a digital version, Trade Me user kelvinpb - here is a current auction for one
I believe from memory that he can tweak them for specific uses... they are based on a PICAXE microcontroller I think.
Cheers
