Quoted from gutz:progress on the transformer panel, waiting on a few parts to finish it.
Just amazing what you've been doing (not to mention what miracle work Evaporust does too). I'm enjoying your topic and humor. 
Did you dip the transformers, outlet and other electrical component in evaporust? It looks like the finish on the transformers was originally black?
Are the bolts, nuts and screws new or cleaned up? What did you use to clean the wires?

Quoted from gutz:Dipping an entire transformer is risky, I don't know what would happen. I knocked off the rust chunks and hit it with a scotchbrite pad, then primed the rust spots and repainted the frame/plates (with wires and labels taped off). Repainted the leg brackets and four screws were rusted/broke during removal and had to be replaced. The wires were scrubbed with a tooth brush and mean green.
Thanks. This is a cringe-worthy topic and I applaud you. Btw, it may just be me but I enjoy seeing the "after" photos first THEN the "before" photos. There's something about seeing a machine that looks like new then seeing the horror that it used to be.
