1958 Becker Umrichter Vibrator upgrade...

[Rudy18D]

Greetings,

Just finished recapping/restoring the Becker Radio and Umrichter amp for my 1958 190 SL. Again, I had to dremmel the top off another non-working vibrator, clean and adjust the points, reseal with epoxy just to get a working vibrator. Would like to upgrade the vintage vibrator to solid state so I won't have to tear apart another one again.

I see lots of mention in the threads about "kits" or places to buy the solid-state vibrators online (like e-bay) but when I actually look hard for these new vibrators (12 volt 6 pin C302), I can't seem to find any. Even on YouTube there is very little about converting one.

I have emailed Royal Signals in the UK asking if they had one but still have not heard back from them.

Anyone have any idea on where to find a 6 pin, 12 volt solid-state vibrator for the Becker Umrichter power amp? Or a PCB board to install inside the old metal vibrator casing?

Thanks in advance,
Rudy
