    On the contrary, there has been much talk about using orange drop capacitors to replace the magneto condensers. The problem in this case is the points springs that are attached to the condenser. I’ll bet a guy could cut the bottom off the condenser can and pull the guts out and fill it with epoxy, making a dummy condenser to hold the wires, including an added capacitor wire.
