You're probably thinking about PCBs?

Let's not get too hasty and complacent here. In the early-mid 70s before the 
PCB transformer notoriety, in Detroit for sure, many amateurs were having 
their dummy loads filled with transformer oils. The guys in Salvage at Detroit 
Edison back then made this a standard deal to their friends.Unknown to them they 
were PCB oils since the PCB "problem" didnt raise its ugly head until later in 
the decade.  

I am sure their were many other utility people that offered the same 
"service".

I.e. Mark....you have no idea what is in that Cantenna.
