Hoping this transformer is still okay. I had it on this towel for the last several years and noticed the goo today.

It could be hazardous... most materials used in the tube era were....lead solder, asbestos insulation, cadmium chassis platting, etc etc (hell 70% of products today are known to cause cancer only in residents of California).... don't eat the towel or dust and you should be fine.
