Shelf-life? Here's a pile of gently used condensers from $3 tune-up kits sold in the 60s. Probably most from Zayres & TwoGuys. All except one have been sitting in attics ever since. That one, picked at random, has been on my helmet since 2010. Less than 10K but not a hint yet that points need checking. Stock chrysler coil & ballast with no bypass. The shiny brass one on the right is the real McMallory, not a fake like Tubman peddles. 8^) It was also $3 from WesternAuto. Like a treasured heirloom, it's tastefully displayed in a fine china cabinet and kept polished. Jack E/NJ
