There were some RCA black and white sets 20 inch and above, in the 1950s, that had over 50 wax caps. RCA loved them waxies. Part of that is the belief that tubular capacitors automatically have more consistent high frequency response. Admittedly it is much harder to properly select ceramics for high frequencies.
