I agree that tents that old should be replaced--they are not worth repairing. Urethane coated nylon is hopeless once it starts deteriorating.

That goes for both tents. If the newer urethane coatings last longer as advertised, you may get a longer life out of them, particularly if you dry them thoroughly before storage and don't leave them in storage for years.
