Solid State Vibrator Upgrade

This Solid State Vibrator upgrade can be installed inside the can of most mechanical vibrators within your classic car radio. The result is a vibrator that is microprocessor controlled with the highest accuracy and features available. Choose this upgrade to have the mechanical components inside your radio's vibrator replaced with a solid state device.

Send in your broken vibrator to have this solid state upgrade installed. When returned, it will plug in and work beautifully giving your original valve radio a new lease of life and making it more reliable than ever. 

Full protection against reverse battery, shorted outputs and over power, the VBx-1 is nearly indestructible. Because of this small size and ruggedness, the VBx-1 can be wired inside the can of an original vibrator! With this flexibility, hard to find replacements for 5, 6 and 7 pin vibrators are no longer an issue. Operating from 3.0 - 18V (12-38V for VBF-1), all positive and negative ground installations can be catered for.

Through the use of sophisticated algorithms, the microprocessor allows the VBx-1 to offer such unheard of features as deadband control, delayed start, soft start, delayed restart, short circuit protection and over power protection, all with astounding accuracy. The deadband control, delayed start and soft start features in particular greatly reduce the stresses on the transformer and rectifier, thereby extending the lives of these components considerably.

Not only does the VBx-1 protect itself, but it also protects expensive parts in the radio like the transformer, rectifier and filters. Unlike simple “dumb” electronic vibrators that will burn a transformer up if something as simple as the buffer capacitor shorts, the VBx-1 immediately senses this condition protecting itself and the transformer until the buffer capacitor can be replaced! No longer can a careless user destroy expensive parts in their radio simply by leaving it turned on after a failure.

If you have any special requirements with regard to the radio or your project schedule, just let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate.

Please allow 1 week from your vibrator being received at our workshop before we complete the work and get it back to you. We'll keep you informed of progress along the way.
