My ancient Bird 3KW load built for RCA still has its couple of gallons of
PCB's. I check the smell every few years and its not burn yet so it stays in
use as it has for over 30 years here.
My 1500W 2M amp uses a pair of GE Pyranol's in the PS and those were new
when I built it almost 30 years ago.
Let the knock knee nannies cry all they want.

I had a hunch someone would bring up PCBs sooner or later. The
hysteria over PCBs is blown way way out of proportion, along with
asbestos, lead in paint, RF exposure and a few other things. All of
these materials are perfectly safe if you handle them in a sensible
way. Don't drink or bathe in PCBs and you'll be fine. If you can
handle gasoline or used motor oil safely you can handle PCB
transformer oil.
For information on disposal of the oil go here:
