NOS Caps and Resistors, is there a use by date? I mean if you buy NOS caps and resistors from the 60's like people do with Tubes, would they still be great to use?
How about Ceramic caps, if you LIGHTLY use them for like a couple of years in the 60's and then pull them off out of a circuit and re-use them 40 years later, would they still be good? They measure on the Multimeter fine and they still looks new with no signs of external damage or burn smell.
I read somewhere that Ceramic Caps are more durable and acceptable for re-use and can stay in storage longer than other caps, is there any truth to this?
Which types of caps would you say can be re-used and less riskier to re-use?
