        The older transformer oil contained PCBs.  If you use that type
        of oil, you do not want to get it on you when you work with it as
        exposure to PCBs can possibly lead to cancer.  The newer transformer
        oil might not contain PCBs, but I don't know how to tell the
        difference between new and old.  Mineral oil, if it will dissipate
        the heat, definitely sounds better.
