Agree. I'd use orange drops on this too. And make very sure to use a 1600 volters or better in the vibrator circuit and in output circuit if there is one to suppress oscillations. (I am assuming you have a conventional original tube radio from the era.)

Never hurts to post an image of schematic or link to get many opinions. Been many moons since I worked on a car radio.
