Sounds like a trick applied to Guitar pickups to cut down microphonic
feedback issues. Except that in guitar it is usually wax that is used to
'pot' it. I guess that white glue would do it ok. It probably wouldn't last
as long as wax.
Perhaps it would be more effective to remove the TF and then take the tape
off and then apply the potting?

Subject: Re: [OM] Noisy T32
Loose wrapping of the wire inside the transformer. It comes up now and
then.
The usual solution is to replace the transformer -- that's the big
block-like
thing with yellow tape around the middle.
Or just for fun, you might try this experiment (I've been thinking of trying
it,
but noisy transformers are getting pretty rare....) -- thin some white
school
glue a bit and squirt it into the windings under the tape and let it dry. I
wouldn't use a solvent-based glue since it might dissolve the insulation of
the
windings -- OK, electrical-types, is that a valid concern/suggestion?
