Oups ! RTV did you said Tom ? apart from the mechanicals : research electronic grades before you get more problems still in long term on chem side . Some of the acids present, and other compound segments are real field tickers if memory serves me right . But you likely did that ; so to the mechanics (not the wiring up gas stoves stuff) : From the sound of it you have a snowflake chance in hell of finding the spacer ; you have plenty of room between the leads, and doing a lot of tedious work (paid for?) : When we've had this one in past we gave our girls a teflon/nylon/somethinglikethat pointer to quick check/reshape the wires ; and that was it . Common thing ; as winders are generally not that fussy about terminations routes . Once (past life) I've had 40 winders on one of the floors and 3 yards dia dip tanks for trafos of all sizes : used to be fun before Peoples Republic took over . Did read some US strategic industries platforms studies > interesting reading = true we're gettin' the stuff cheap ; but ...........
