what was the designer of these caps smoking?

these are electrolytics in one of my many regency tr-1 radios.
if wax wont keep moisture out of a paper cap it sure wont keep it in a lytic!
most early miniature lytics are bakelite tubes sealed with epoxy.
i remember these nashville lytics being 100% bad in the early 70's when i started fixing stuff.

I hear you there!

Hmmm.... some odd looking transistors, what was the designation for those metal cans. The only metal cans I'm familiar with are round.


And yeah.... I'd also assume that those lytics were bad.
