[Hallicrafters] No PCB's in caps

Several years ago I noticed that a couple of my oil filled HV caps had 
started to leak.  I did not know how excited I should get about this 
development so phoned the engineers at Sprague.  They told me they have 
never used PCB's in any of their caps; PCB's were only used in 
transformers.  The tone of the fellow I talked to was of forbearance, 
like he really wished we would all get a clue and leave him alone.  It 
was his opinion that nobody ever put PCB's in caps.  Of course that was 
one engineer at one company....
