RE: [TCML] OBIT Questions

It's very easy to remove the tar from the older type oil burner transformers
by peeling off the metal case. The metal is thin and once you get a strip
started, you peel off the strip all around the case. Then you find that
there is not much tar inside, which takes only a short time to break off. Of
course, one must be very careful about not breaking off the HV leads. This
was my experience with two of these small transformers.

Hey Kevin
" If you "cook" one and remove the core
from the tar and run it in oil, it will run a long time."
could you describe your method for getting these things out o the tar.  I
tried once and i ended up destroying a good transformer.
thanks
