this goes out anyone that's done a full restoration on a machine (eg. bryan kelly, jim mccune, chris hutchins, etc...)
what do you do to clean up the transformer? I've already used a paint/varnish stripper to remove all of the dried (thick layer of) vanish from the brackets and replaced that nasty hardware (screws, nuts, washers, etc...) with shiny new stuff, but as far as the transformer block itself goes, what have you guys done?
