Not sure what Cushcraft/MFJ is doing with the traps now, but, some
other manufacturers in the past used sealed traps with a 'bleed hole'
at the bottom of an end cap.

Quoting Glenn Pritchard <gpritchard7000@gmail.com>:
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.

I recently bought some replacement traps for my old A3S from
MFJ/Cushcraft. Unike the originals, the replacements have no vent
holes. Among other problems, the original traps tended to collect
moisture and take a long time to dry out, so I'm concerned that the
replacements might be even worse. Does anyone have any experience
with these unvented traps?
