Thanks everyone. I had to set this one aside while I handled more
pressing issues, and borrowed a 6V supply. I'm going to tackle this on
Saturday. I'm figuring on ordering all the wax & electrolytic caps, and
put a new vibrator into it. Still haven't checked the ground polarity,
but will check that as well. spent some time with this today, and I'm
pretty sure it is Negative.
