I was fortunate to have acquired such a set and used its inductors to populate my restored chassis. This was ten years ago and the chassis is still running with those 'pristine' white inductors, and that includes one year of use at the Early Television Museum demonstrating the one successfully rebuilt 15GP22.

I'd have probably dunked those inductors in wax to help preserve them.
