Sounds like magnetic ballasts.

I had to replace a bunch of magnetic ballasts in my basement; they
were oozing potting material.  I discovered that many of them contain
PCBs, which has made safe disposal challenging.  The date codes on GE
ballasts will tell you if they contain PCB-insulated capacitors.
