If coil issues as stated in post 13, oil filled coils are supposedly no longer made in the US due to EPA issues, evidently due to oil manufacturing costs, other mitigations. Most now made overseas , China, Brazil, India, etc. I have a new one that oil sloshes around inside. We've been told that epoxy coils don't dissipate heat very well (varying discussion about this) and the oil filled coils should be installed with terminals up, not down because the oil is not full in the coil and can't cool the secondary coil completely.
