One thing I did notice was the leads for the disc part were surrounded with a big heat shrink which enclosed all of the wires, when I removed this there was a lot of moisture and the leads were perished. The wires for the bobbin side went into the same enclosure but were not heat shrinked and they appear fine and still flexible.
