EICO Tube Amp HF 14...Transformer question


I just purchased these vintage Mono Blocks .

Upon checking the insides I noticed that one transformer had shilac colored fluid....possibly leaking  on its bottom.

Is this indicative of a problem ?....or is this normal ?

Also:...there is no fuse value written . Does anyone know the correct fuse value.?

Thank you

Use a variac with a speaker connected to slowly power up the amp. Adding a dim bulb tester to check current draw is a good idea.
