curious! and baffling. try checking the voltages i mentioned in an earlier post. if the vibrator is working, the AC and DC voltage readings will be 200+ volts. but if they are that high, the radio should work same as it does with the original vibrator.
i have to say that i "designed" the AAR tester on the fly and can't say with certainty that it is reliable.
maybe call AAR? http://www.antiqueautomobileradio.com/
good luck.
