Welcome!  Over 50 years have dabbled in tubes and never have had good luck with them.

Interesting anomaly. It seems that someone has put this material in the transformer to resonance purposes or it could only the manufacturer name plate, as a used amp the transformer looks in good condition by what I can see from here.

What is this material?
