[Heathkit] Re: Frosted bulbs

What was used on my experimental SW crystal set with effect lighting, did not
give a frosted appearance. the color is good and resists theat very well. Good
stuff, but no frosted look.

Rosco's lamp dip is called "Colorine".  They have a "clear" dip listed, 
but no mention whether it's a diffusion or not.  Their web site is 
www.rosco.com.

If nothing else, #47s run cool enough that you could probably use 
standard Roscolux diff like R114 and tape it around a #47 lamp.
