RCA really did not want people going into the catacomb box. Beside the potting, they used lead seals, embossed with the RCA logo inserted into some of the rivet holes. It would then be obvious if anyone opened or tampered with the sealed enclosure.

I opened up one of these boxes many years ago and was amazed at the lengths RCA went to to conceal what was inside. Don't know what they were thinking, as anyone determined to do so could get inside and see what was there.
