[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 463643, member: 7956"] Good question Skip, this very rarely comes up. Prob the most concern would be the al caps. Heat is their biggest enemy, even if they don't actually pop, they slowly go bad over time. [url]https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/news/calculating-the-lifespan-of-electrolytic-capacitors-with-de-rating/[/url] Putting an actual time frame on when they are too suspect to buy will certainly start a fight. @4yrs that looks like a good buy.
