   > 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.

   Here's another idea -- take it to one of the shops that does custoom   
   ceramic coating for the car guys. They are always coating their   
   exhaust systems. I bet they would coat that for you for next to   
   nothing if you could sneak it in while they are coating parts for   
   someone else...   
      
   Just a thought.
