Blocking moisture absorption is why yours truly advocates drying out
transformers/chokes and potting the windings with polyester laminating
resin. It's cheap and it takes little time. / For a Dahl 4500va
"68-pounder", approx. $2.50 worth of laminating resin is needed.

home-potting and other gardening tips are on my Web site.
