Regardless of how they showed up you still must have vent holes in the traps. I
had a MA5B twenty years ago and although it had vent or moisture holes the
traps still collected water.
Put the traps on a drill press and drill small 1/8 holes in the covers.
Make sure when assembled the holes face down.
