How to fix loose CRT base - CTC11-12's

[Phil Nelson]

I can understand being curious about the old glue recipe from a historical viewpoint, but why would you want to replicate the same stuff that is now falling apart and causing problems?

I'd use a modern product. Some things actually HAVE gotten better during the last 60 years

True, I would not think repeating the same formula obtains a different result. I am hoping that there are no heat and conductivity issues. The glass sealer Bob recommends was available at an auto parts franchise locally.

I plan to drill 3-4 tiny holes around the circumference to inject the stuff.
