    There are no station buttons - I exspected them. But it works, the RC Vibrator is a little bit noisy.

    Looks like the same style and size. I have never seen one in a 56J without the push buttons, but that doesn't mean anything, other than maybe they are uncommon. I have a copy of Frank A's 56J Authenticity Guide, and will look tomorrow, if nobody else can help.

      Both the manual tune 6 tube radio and the deluxe push button 7 tube radio were available for all models of Studebakers in 1956. The radio model chosen depended on what the original buyer of the car wanted when the car was ordered from the dealer. Bud

        The vibrator is noisy because it is not inside its case. You can buy new, silent, solid state plug-in vibrators here:
        http://radiosforoldcars.net/ But you should change the buffer capacitor also.

        You can buy an even better (more robust, reverse polarity protected) solid state vibrator here: http://tech-retro.com/Aurora_Design/Accessories.html but you will have to hard wire it. You can mount it on the old vibrator base and plug it into the radio.

        Change the buffer capacitor - the 1600 volt one, in all cases.
