Building Old Kits??

Thu May 29 03:09:16 EDT 2003

Hi Folks,

I'm getting ready build a few old unassembled heathkit's and other kits
from the 1960's and 1970's. I was wondering if I have to worry about the
original components degrading with time, or, should they still be ok if
never used in a circuit? Particularly, the capacitors and resistors.
Anything to worry about? Thanks for the help!
