No, I'm way too young to have any clue what you're talking about, but since you brought it up, how many had to actually change a bad condenser? And how many just did them along with the points (at least every other time)?
The points and condenser usually were packaged together on a card. Really didn't have to change the condenser often, but what to do with a drawer full of unused ones, and they only took a minute to change
Then came vented points....
