Where's a good place to find transformer oil (besides at the top
of the utility pole outside the house)? *Or, what's an acceptable
substitute?

I havent bought any in a long time but the local drug store used to
sell mineral oil by the gallon. The gallon I bought was about $12 USD
about 20 years ago. Lately I havent seen anything larger than a
quart.My wife has a 12 oz bottle she picked up at the dollar store for
$.97, that may be a good way to go. I know a guy that used "Marvel
Mystery Oil" which is mostly mineral oil. He says the can will rust
out will regular mineral oil but not with the MMO.
