Old radio transformers

[Ed_Dinning]

Hi Gents, as has been said, not too much of a problem, but well worth 2-3 weeks in a warm place before applying power or even meggering.
If some sign of leakage after that (say 1meg or so at 500V) It could be worth cooking up in paraffin wax.
Apart from looking bad severely rusted lams have never caused me any problems apart from taking a transformer apart.
