bluebluejays Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 03/10/10 Posts: 79 Loc: Indiana	Want to replace the vibrator on my original 1946 truck radio. The vibrator is located inside a metal box. Not sure how to remove the metal box to replace vibrator. Appreciate directions/instructions as to how to gain access to vibrator. Thanks in advance for all assistance. Ken

You can slip something under the edge to help set it free. Edited by old216 (03/11/11 05:07 PM) _________________________ My 1951 1 Ton is now on the road!
