Hello, Working on a restoration of a Philco 89. Radio plays on dim bulb but poorly. Need to recap yet. my question is there is wax on the chassis around the power transformer and also inside the bottom of the transformer. More than I would like to see. I think there was a melt down long time ago as the wax on the chassis is coated with dirt. As I said the radio plays. I ohmed out the windings and they are close to what the schematic says. The voltages are what I would expect with no load. Just wondering if the transformer is sound. Any thoughts? I plan to replace the wire as far into the transformer I can as they are all stiff and fragile. I have done this many times and it works out well.

Thanks,
Dan
