Donald and George- You are both absolutely correct on the Workman Electronic Products "Globar Resistors! They were as you indicated for use as dummy load resistors and did not have the characteristics of the WEP Globar Thermistors at all. In fact when I worked for Electronic Parts Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico years ago al we stocked was the Globar Thermistor series . This because of the immense demand from part-timers and repair shops for repairs to TV-Radio products. Any Globar resistors were special order only, pay in advance unless is was a repeat customer, non-returnable order by whatever WEP stated was a standard pack (1,2, 3, etc.). You are also correct in that the Glowbar Resistors had a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) from 150 ohms cold to 6 ohms hot.
I have not checked their product line for many years. I did not realize they are still in business! The hyperlink to their website is http://www.workmanelectronics.com/main.htm . Since they were established in 1936 according to the Yahoo Search Engine listing, next year they will be celebrating their 70 year anniversary. If you check their products by "antenna - parts" they still manufacturer antenna "egg" and other style insulators. Amazing!
