[Boatanchors] Carbon Comp Resistors: The Darkness Gathers?

[Rob Atkinson]

I can't remember if I posted this or not but I don't think they drift
with no current through them.  So for ham service which is
intermittent, it will probably take a long time for a carbon resistor
to drift.  The ones I find that have drifted are usually in gear
that's 50+ years old.  Hate to throw shade on us but none of us will
be around to see a drifted NOS carbon we install today.
