Oh, it definitely has an effect. Back then electronics were worse
quality as well, back then, so the stat would be a bit inflated, but
many a TV has failed due to tar build up on its components and wires.
I remember seeing clouds of smoke as a kid when folks were visiting.
Some days the cloud actually had a "ceiling height" where the smoke
would stay above a certain altitude in the room.
The atmospheric conditions always play a part in the lifespan of any
exposed electronic assembly.
