Hi:

Rubber parts biodegrade in water or air.

Tires also have a working life after which they fail. (guess how I know this).

The rubber cables were actually "crunchy". The bags were sealed, though.

Anyone have, or know of a decent source for JK-26 and PL-55 jacks and plugs?  I need to make up 5 sets of extension cables for the one airplane project. I can find NOS CD-307 cables, but the wire jacket is in bad enough shape that they will need new wiring. I've only been able to find the JK's in  well used cutoffs and would like to find some in better condition or NOS.

You mean the rubber cable is disintegrating?
