I have just begun restoring a Model 38-620. The power transformer has obviously over heated in the past: wax leaking out of the transformer and splattered around the local area. All windings ohm out correctly.

Is this transformer safe for future use? In any case I intend to add an in-line 3/4 Amp fuse.

Thank you

Don
