I never respray these vintage hi fi components because I believer a forty year old amp should look like forty year old!
-----------------------------------------

I have to say. I agree the above statement :-)

CP

I hate the FIRST person who polished his shoes in the army/ Force :-)

I have heard of both, though not A-B head on. 25A surely wins.

WHEN the restoration of Pang's 25A completes, let have a AB test in private :-)

Thanks for the sharing on your Ginger's 'Kiwi' method! It certainly make life easier for me, Iam a lazy fellow :-)

Ace,

I always have in mind "restoration" is to preserve and protect these very old transformers. A better look of the transformers is only surprise, surprise.

:)

I guess to put the open frame transformers into pot boxes can well protect these cows :-)

kidding of course.

Surpris means unexpected and the expected aim is preservation and protection to lengthen the normal working life of these rusting iron.

Francis,

I think shoe polish (Kiwi) contains animal grease and graphite. It can harden over time and should provide some protection at the end. As Gingers said, to respect other's taste ma! :)

Gingers,

If Pang Pang gives his consent, you may borrow Pang's 25A home to A-B-C-D... test with your amps carefully.

No.

If the shoe oil melts, it means your transformers would be overheated :-)

Welcome to join the shoe shine boy 12.1 gang :-)

However, as a CEO, I guess you seldom touch the shoe oil :-)

Great.
The most interesting may not be the AB test but to take the photos.

The photos may be an attraction to some, I guess.

-----------------

LEAK 12.1 output transformer should NOT get hot, but its power supply transformer does heat up after hours of use. I don't worry about melting of the grease but am not sure if animal grease (whale grease?) will cause unknown side-effect to the iron core and the insulation of the magnetic wire inside.

IMHO, tar-paint is a safer option. But I respect other's taste. :P

Maxbliss888 hing, guess everything eventually melts due to heat, problem is at what temp. Ginger's right that for a proper shoe shine oil, the iron should cook before the oil melts.

To polish the shoes and all the leather equippments were nightmares to me almost 30 years ago.

We first applied thick shoe oil to the shoe and melted the oil with candle. This was the first important step to make the shoe oil cover the shoes equally and gently. Then let it dry and then started to polish the shoes with a piece of gentle cloth.
