[Boatanchors] materials new to me

[Carl]

That is being sold by a regular on these reflectors, Lloyd, KK7 something or 
other.

Those are great when restoring a vintage receiver where the originals have 
drifted way out of tolerance and you want to keep the proper appearance. 
Ive a large stash also and find many to still read well within tolerance. 
Some, I repaint the bands it they have drifted. So a 33K becomes 39K,  68K 
to 75K, etc. After 50-70 years they dont drift much any more.

Clive, old friend, I'm afraid that this is HIGHLY suspect, and written
to portray these "same old" resistors to the Audiophool crowd.

There is a "cult" of those whom market and then those that "swallow" the
ideas such as "oxygen free" copper speaker wire.  Thereby extracting the
$$$ from the cult followers.

What I "see" in the photograph looks like everyday old carbon
composition resistors that most of us must check by measuring to ensure
that they "may" be within the tolerance that they are supposed to be.
That "pile" of Bovine Scatology looks like my bench trash can after
going through a couple of old boatanchors!
