Let me add a followup. I am finishing a 37-620 restoration. I got to the IF alignment today and the transformers were frozen. I tried heat( hair dryer). That didnt work. I read this post and applied the WD-40, waited about an hour and a half and voila! they're turning. Thanks for the great idea. It shows there's more than one way to skin a cat, ( although I've never done that ).
