Or adequate made-up formulation For potentially hot ones like the toroidal filters in power supplies , often white. Presumably not ordinary hot-melt glue

Just hot melt glue. Tho of course heavy stuff should be mechanically fixed, sometimes it's better than they can break loose rather than smash the circuit board in a heavy fall
Is there anything pertaining to valve Wem Copycats on your site btw?

I should point out that you can get thermosetting hot melt glue.

Don't they use PVA ?

I didn't think PVA would stick to much that isn't porous, Peavey use a white stuff on power resistors that requires quite a high temp to soften it,[1] and there is a hot melt available that requires a far higher temp to resoften it after the first cooling. Some companies use RTV
[1] it,s almost always cracked free of the board or component anyway so softening it isn`t a problem.The Japanese used to use that brown stuff that looks like Evostick. It usually goes hygroscopic and conductive.

I've only repaired later copycats , no knowledge of earlier ones

I thought that's how the PVA ends up. They use it by the gallon so it must be cheap ( like PVA but not RTV ).
