Do old school tube amps have more mojo then newer tube amps?

Although I know you were joking, this reminded me of something.LeeMo wrote: This vaporized lead settled on everything, including the circuits in tube amps. This gave an extra layer of conductance to the connection , thereby adding Meaux-Joe.
See, its really simple when ya think about it.![]()

Fenders and some other brand amps used the thick fish paper type circuit boards.
These are known to absorb moisture over time and become somewhat conductive.
Do any of you think that can add to the m0j0?

Tubes operate at very high impedances and it doesn't take much stray conductivity to effect circuit characteristics.
This is much the same as the effect lead dress has.
There may actually be something to the lead vapour idea
