Alan, with your long experience with vintage radios, perhaps you could work out how long these Hunts caps did last when the sets were current/younger?
Did they start to fail 5 years after manufacture? Or 10, 15, 20 years?
My experience has a large gap between the mid 60s and 2013 so I have gone from working on 30s and 40s sets with only wax and mica caps when I was young to having to replace plastic potted foil caps like Hunts in my dotage.
And Aye Eye!
