Hi, Shango! I built a solid state vibrator that's pretty reliable. I used a 555 oscilator and a dual comparator (one in inverting and one in noninverting configuration) who's following the charge and discharge of the capacitor of the 555, then driving two FETs. In my case, I had 12V cars. With two small pots you can precisely set the conduction points for each of the FETs, and by choosing the resistors for the 555 you can vary the frequency, in order to obtain the correct B+. The voltage for the 555 should be regulated, I choose 9V. The schematic is a bit more complicated, but is very reliable and flexible. I built 3 of these about 2 years ago and are still working. And, for the laughs, I've put it in an emptied aluminum capacitor. 😁

OOh I also want to tell you about a free open source pinball program on pc... Its called visual pinball and they literally have over 100 old school SS & EM pinball tables made for it! The program literally runs the table virtually even using their original ROMs, sounds etc. Its pretty epic. I finally got to play that Flight 2000 table this way after seeing you fix one on your channel. I thought maybe you would be interested in that program since it is free.

That vibrator step up transformer primary is designed for a +/-6 volt square wave applied across the entire primary, not half of the primary. The vibrator alternately connects one half of the primary to ground (center tap at +6 volts) then the other half of the primary to ground. I think if you just apply the filament transformer output to the entire winding (not half the winding) then you will get a much closer B+ output voltage. True, replacing the OZ4 with silicon diodes will boost the B+ even more and a resistor will be needed to compensate.

I bought a "parts set" once that had a metal ballast "tube" in the circuit. The whole set was severely water damaged so I submerged the ballast tube in my bucket of evaporust for a few days. It worked 100% to remove all the rust. What I didn't account for, was that the ballast tube was one of those 50s-60s era universal replacement types where you configured it to the application by pulling pins off of it, which left behind some holes that allowed the evaporust to fill the inside of the ballast. I let it slowly drain out for about two months and believe it or not, the ballast tube still worked but it stank to high heaven every time it was turned on. After about a year of using the ballast for a few hours a week in the garage it eventually lost its god awful smell. It was enough to make a dying selenium rectifier smell like the world's best perfume.

In some radios the 0Z4 socket may have the filament pins connected in that case you can use a 6X5, plate and cathode connections match the 0Z4. Also 0Z4s can get weak, the symptoms can be failure to conduct, radio quits playing when the car idles and starts playing again when accelerating.
@thomasoliver5095
@thomasoliver5095 Год назад
0Z4 tubes do not have filaments-they are cold cathode rectifier tubes-essentually a form of neon lamp-but with argon gas.The tube has a metal shell-under the metal case is the gas filled bulb hat glows blue when the tube is working.Used to take off the metal case when I worked on these radios as a teen.Vibrtors-sometimes you can get them going by giving them a sharp whack with a screwdriver handle.Its worth a try.If not then try taking the vibrator case off and cleaning contacts.So many years ago you could get replacement vibrators from any electronic or car parts stores.

Hey, we really can relate to this video, I have the Philco C4608 (Mopar 802) version of that kind of radio from my dads 1947-48 Plymouth car he had, when I was a kid. I begged my dad to have the radio and speaker removed before he got rid of the car, so we could keep the radio which did not work at the time. I still have the radio with its original electro magnet speaker, glade we convinced my dad to save the car radio, it's in very good shape yet. I used to have the car radio working decades ago, but today it needs recapped for the original caps are the Bumble Bee type and the push-pull output transformer needs replaced. Shango you can hardly beat the performance of those old tube car radios from back then! This car radio has 8 - 6.3v loctal tubes, push buttons with individual tuning coils for the presets as well as manual tuning slugs, the tuning mechanics is a bit different then the Mopar 602 your working on. SO they had mechanical activated push buttons back in the 1940's!

Your friend has a nice truck. My personal favorites are the Dodge Sweptsides with fins on the bed. Those are very rare though. Those flathead six motors are super reliable and amazingly smooth and quiet when running right. I had one once in a 1957 Savoy and in a 1957 Dodge Coronet,both with Powerflite 2 speed push button automatics. Chrysler used those flat six engines until 1959. In 1960 the legendary Slant Six was introduced which would be used until 1987. I had vibrator problems in that 57 Plymouth radio too. The vibrator would stick.

Will be looking forward to part 2. Now I need to find a transformer that can handle 6.3 volts at 3 amps. I do have a spare power transformer out of a 1967 GE color TV I can use with a variac, that solid state tube adapter, and perhaps a light bulb to current limit.

Turns out these were originally for Chrysler model vehicles made by Colonial Radio Co. and were made around 1946 - 1948. The great thing about these radios is that they're quite tough against wearing and can last a long time. Something I don't like about them however, is how much current and how much power they consume (~15amps and ~90W at full line voltage) as well as the noisy vibrator, which drained the 6V battery quickly in older cars.

Chrysler was the first auto maker to offer an all transistor car radio in 1955 (mopar model 914hr). It was an option on the 1956 Chrysler and Imperial models. They boasted it used 90 per cent less battery power than tube models and that it eliminated the vibrator which was the number one point of failure in car radios at the time. The all transistor radios were discontinued due to cost of manufacturing and poor sales. Chrysler then introduced for 1957 optional hybrid radios that used tung sol’s 12v “space charge” tubes eliminating the vibrator and using a power transistor in the audio output circuit.

Always like the old car radios. This must have been a pretty upmarket truck to get a radio, probably not a cheap option and in a time when trucks didn't have air conditioned seats and heated steering wheels. I was given the amplifier / power supply portion of a '55 Chev car radio, it is similar to this using an OZ4 cold cathode rectifier (I had to google it) and 12V6GT push-pull finals. I had to crack in to the vibrator as the contacts were oxidized and it wouldn't start up. It's on the shelf now 'cause it's short one 12V6GT and it's almost as filthy as this one. Speaker was built in and the voice coil was open. Any surviving radio from a car of this vintage is likely going to be in rough shape. I'm surprised the chrome caps for the pushbuttons were all still intact on this truck unit. As a kid I had a transistor unit from a '69 Dodge Monaco and I was impressed with the sensitivity and selectivity of that old beast. I think it had five ferrite slugs ganged together. A long wire strung up along the joists of the basement and I was pulling in all kinds of stuff that I'd never heard before. I doubt the modern car radios are like this, maybe some.

The receiver worked and had less noise. The rectal fiber was some kind of gas tube. It had an aluminum cover, but I removed that. So I went to sleep often to that purple glow. I had a long aerial that I strung over the house between two trees. I was in central Georgia, US, and the receiver would pick up WWL New Orleans fine.

On the motor there was a second coil that generated some 3V for LEDs and audio amplifier. In my opinion a transformer based on a motor makes a much more reliable inverter but they found a different solution back in the 40s. The noise and vibration of a motor would be inferior to a clicking sound, too. The downside is the necessity to change brushes all the time. But, an intelligent design would make this downside easy to manage. The sensitivity and selectivity of this radio are amazing! There was a time when the made real stuff... Cheers!

I think Loctals get a bad rap. I have many radios that use Loctals and I have never had a problem with the pins not making contact with the sockets.

They get a horrible rap. Motorola commercial stuff from that era had tons of them. I've only encountered a very few issues too.

I used to complete the maintenance of this type of radio on a previous car that had circuits that contained heat lamps, and it was somewhat annoying in the maintenance due to its age because it contained electronic elements.

"0Z4 and 0Z4G are primarily used for vibrator-type B-supply units of automobile receivers. Utilizes a starter electrode and an ionically heated cathode. RF filter circuits placed close to socket terminals are required to reduce rectifier noise. Shell of 0Z4 and external shield of 0Z4G should be grounded. 30 to 90mA dc current. Originally developed by Raytheon and announced in "radio Engineering" November 1935. It originally had a four prong octal base. The 0Z4 was re-registered to RCA on Jan. 2, 1961, with minor spec changes." -- Radiomuseum

You have to push the bottom push button to use the dial knob.

Should be made by Philco for Chrysler. Keep on tapping the vibrator to get it to vibrate again. Think it is Tubes Rule on video karma makes the Aurora solid state vibrator. I have not tried the aurora SS vibrator.

Aurora ones are excellent, worth every dime, done countless of conversions, not one comeback.

Great video, I really enjoy tube car radio videos. I have a Ford radio from the 40’s I may try to tackle it now.😊

Where did the vibrator video go? It showed up yesterday but before I could watch it, is now marked private and not available.

Yes it will be interesting to see your new vibrator replacement circuit and how you keep the noise down. Chris

Radio does not look that bad beyond the rusty case. Spraying the sockets & wiggling before removal coùld minimize any harm to the sockets. I hope Shango gets it working 100%....

All the six volt locktals have a 12-volt counterpart. It will be the same tube number except 14 instead of 7 as the first numbers. So, the 7A7 will be a 14A7, for example. Etc etc etc.

I learned about those on a 50s jeep, weirdest thing I have ever heard of and I guess it was common back in the day. Lots of strange things on old vehicles that are being forgotten, like polarizing a generator so it will charge!
