A quick eBay search for "radio vibrator replacement" returns a number of
possibilities, mixed among the s*x toys.
I saw some 12 volt solid state replacements, and a number of 5 volt
mechanical, original equipment ones.
The dyed in the wool old car enthusiasts want only the gen-u-wine
original mechanical ones that whine, not the solid state ones.

Hi Guys,
Need to replace the vibrator based DC-DC 'converter' in an OLD (1952)
Grundig car radio (in a Mercedes) I'd like to use something more
modern..and reliable! The vibrator is a 5 pin version that I am
unfamiliar with and I'm guessing it's made out of 'unobtanium.'..
(might be synchronous?)
The board needs to supply around 225vdc. to a 5 tube radio. (no need
to supply the filaments) The rub is that the car is 6 vdc. Is there
anything on Ebay (or??) that would work?
I've included the schematic for informational purposes...
