   > The amp I'm rebuilding (a Wurlitzer 661, from the 1930s) has a giant   
   multi-section resistor. All but one of the sections is good, but much of the   
   original coating has flaked away, leaving the coils of wire exposed and   
   vulnerable to damage and short-   
   circuits. I'd like to protect it with an enamel of some type, but I don't know   
   what to use. Naturally it must be non-conductive and heat-resistant. Beyond   
   that, I don't know.

   You could spray it with high temp engine enamel.
