I was going to take out those rectifiers in my x-ray transformer and
thought of something. Do you think this can contain PCBs? I got the cover
off and the oil (or PCBs) splashed a little and got on my hands and
face. The smell was pungent but not overwhelming. I started to feel sick
breathing it in.
The color is about the same as new motor oil. I can almost see to the
bottom (it is about 12" tall) I am now very scarred and have not touched
it since the thought came to my mind. What could happen? Is there a way
to tell if it is PCBs? The thing is probably around 35-40 years
old. There is no markings of any kind on the case.
I have some other question too but the above is my main concern. First, if
some oil drips out is that ok? It was so full that when I took the lid off
some poured out. Second, it had a cork type gasket and it is now broken
up, what should I do to make sure it is completely sealed again? Thanks
