[Boatanchors] Carbon Composites Go Bye Bye

[Spooner, Robert L]

Dave and all,

I am in the process of retiring out-of-tolerance resistors in my NC-183D receiver.

73,
Bob AD3K

Mentioned this once, finally pulled the trigger on it.
I have purged my 50-year junk-box of carbon-comp resistors,
including NOS, save only obvious "antique" parts from
the 20s and 30s and "premium grade" precisions.
Over a gallon of them. 90%  have drifted, some of them
substantially, and it just isn't worth my precious and
rapidly-dwindling time to try and cherry-pick those still good.
Will be using mostly the current "flame-proof" in
future projects.   I'm curious if anyone else has considered
"resistor retirement?"
