[Amps] burnt-looking adhesive/sealant ... ?

[RICHARD GEORGE]

It looks like someone had a bad parasitic problem at one time and used the Rich Measures kit. The black stuff looks like HV dope they may have had an arching problem at one time. On Ebay if they say they can't test it usually means it don't work. Be careful I just got stung for $130.00 on Ebay.

    Naturally I cruised through eBay 

  For starters, I inquired about whether the auction includes the power
  supply; it does not.  The seller ("Allen") included photos, one of which I
  put here for your expert perusal:


  I asked the seller and he says "If you are referring to the black looking
  stuff on the end of the big red coil/choke, that is some sort of adhesive to
  seal the wire to the core.  It is also on some of the nuts, etc.  It is not
  something which has burnt. Don't know if it was used to simply seal
  something in place or insulate it. But it definitely is not something
  fried."
