I tried to unpot my 15000/30, the predasossor to the 15000v/60ma one but it 
didn't fix it. There is still a lot of tar on it though because I couldn't 
get the core apart to clean it. I might try solvent and see if that lets me 
seperate tho core to dip the parts seperate in solvent. I'll probably do the 
15000/60 when I get to the other one, but I picked up two old(free this time) 
trannies. One was a 12500/60 and was the size of the dead 15000/60. The other 
one was a 15000/60 but I didn't feel like carrying it in my basement to test, 
it is much larger than the newer dead 15000/60( if it dies I could probably 
wind it for a pretty good amount.) I am saving the trannies untill I get 
around to trying to fix them. Any one ever here of Acme transformers? The 
ones I got are Acme luminous tube transformers, no date given.
