You're probably right, Trevor. In the early 70s, Blaupunkt made a good claim for the virtues of Tantalum Bead Capacitors, and printed data for them in their Car Audio Service Manuals, in which they were used in quantity. As I noted the Radiomobile 108SR, etc., which were made by Voxson in Italy used them, but , IIRC they weren't much used in sets made in the UK, at least not in the makes with which I was familiar, such as Radiomobile, Motorola, PYE, & Elpico. Neither, AFAIK, did Philips use them, at least not in their UK made Car Radios
