[Amps] Painting xfmrs

[EP Swynar]

Hi Jeff,

I believe the Bill Orr series of Radio Handbooks espoused painting filament
transformers that were to be located INSIDE THE AMPLIFIER ENCLOSURE a flat
white...this was to reduce some ill-effect(s) from the close proximity of
the unit to strong RF fields (the exact reason escapes me just now).

Other than that, why not re-paint them...?!
