5% carbon film resistors have copperweld leads (as do m any small film caps).
The copper striker coat on the steel lead fails and the part goes open, or intermittent.
The quality of the tin end-spray lead attachment on inexpensive film caps also fail over a perion of years.
Ceramic disc caps don't sound the best.
Bongiorno didn't think caps made a difference, and he also used a lot of push-on terminals for ease of assembley.
Better caps throughout makes for a big improvement in sound, as does the elimination of the push-on connectors.
The bi-metalic thermostat in series with the speaker out isn't the best idea either.
