So I'm cleaning out the Ergo 201 terminal I
mentioned earlier (and
preparing to do a cap kit on it since it needs it) and I've run across
something that looks kind of like an electrolytic capacitor on a diet.
I'm unable to identify it and I feel like an idiot :). At any rate, it
appears to be leaking something so I'd like to replace it, once I can
figure out what it is. Wish I had a schematic for this thing.
Here's a couple of pictures of it:

Any ideas? The only markings on it are:
Yes this is inductor with a magnet superglued on top and sleeved with
shrink tubing to protect it. I don't see anything serious wrong with
it, just get that bit of glue off (it will come off with little nail
finger scratching). The funny tan/brown bit stuck to the side of the
shrink tubing is glue that you will find all over the board to glue
the capacitors and stuff down. Scratch these off as you replace
components, as it is bad stuff that turns conductive with time and
heat.
That inductor with magnet is for linearity to shape the horizontal
pulses for the yoke. Resolder horizontal circuit, vertical circuit
and power supply areas to take care of 90% solder issues.
