[Amps] To rewind or not? (3KA resonant filter choke)

[Rob Atkinson]

Maybe what it needs is to be baked out and potted.  We have shops
around here (transformer shops I mean) that do that.   I don't know
where you are located but noisy iron can be quieted down that way and
mounted on rubber feet.

By the time I pay to ship the iron aound the country I suspect the last option may be the least expensive, but price isn't necessarily the only consideration here. I want to run it on a regular basis for another 20 years, and perform as well as it does now.
