My Sansui 500A receiver is suspect to having a bad transformer---I have evidence that it has leaked a thick waxy substance ---although it was working before a tube flared out---upon inspection under the chassis I found a "glob" (highly techincal term guys---hope I haven't gone over too many heads here!) of a waxy material -off white in color----can get another rec on e-bay for parts to replace this tranny---would like to see if it can be confirmed though as a way to start Jim
