Philco 39-6 Power Transformer Issues
#21

I  started 2 different threads on this 39-6 CI, ( although they are in two different categories.)
But I mistakenly made the one thread (in Electronic Restoration here)  too narrow in scope, (dealing only with the power transformer issues).

I've continued with the work on this radio ( from last March), and I wondered about starting a new thread, ...until I realized that may be  in violation of a rule.  So I'd better continue with it's general electronic restoration  in this thread, however-inappropriately it's entitled.   Icon_rolleyes

I'm wondering about how to re-coat IF transformers with the proper wax to seal or stabilize them.  I have attempted to re-wind the secondary winding of the 2nd transformer and for now, I've  coated the winding with candle wax.  .  . but I remember the wax it had on it was red-colored.  Any suggestions on a more-proper wax or process?
