Hallicrafters S-40A
#9

There's the thing about leakage in old caps at various voltage levels (we're talking about extremely low voltage stuff here in the case of gitar pickups and such) that simply cannot be duplicated by paralleling a resistor to duplicate the leakage effect. I respect that and it could probably be electronically proven with that approach of looking at it if anybody would bother to do so. Whether or not the same could be achieved with any old bad paper cap will always be subject to debate because I've yet to see anybody actually make such a test.

If folks like the way an old leaky BB handles in such circuits, then fine... let 'em buy them. That doesn't imply that the same old bad BB makes a good B+ bypass cap...in fact its quite the opposite.

Once the 'myth' gets started its hard to keep it in a context.
