We used to use the red glyptol to repair cracks in the wax casings on the
flybacks in the old tube sets. Not zactly sure what a tungar bulb is but IIRC it
is some sort of old rectifier from the 4 and 5 prong tube days of radio.

All right OT but what the hell - one more - whats a ballast tube, and why did
line cords on the old radios (guys, if your idea of old is the 1940s and
1950s, this isnt your question :) have a resistance of IIRC 5 or 6 ohms or so?
