re Carbon composites go bye bye:  I have about a number 10 coffee canfull. When I need a certain value, I use my old Simpson 261, and measure for the desired values, choosing from a handful out of that container which read or color code  a lower value - - assuming it has actually shifted upwards...  -Steve k7ew

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?"

Yes, me too.? I only save the low resistance ones which are useful for
suppressing parasitics as "grid stopping resistors," etc.

I have 2 or 3 medium rate shipping boxes full of them.  Being pretty color
blind I can't even cherry pick.  I've often thought of just letting them go
for shipping.

Anyone have any idea what this is from: circuit board, approx  3 x 4.5 inches,
with 6 transistors Ge 2N2635, 16 diodes, about 20 resistors and 7 disc caps.
Label on board,
NAND ELEMENT       GNA1-1     515593B    RAYTHEON COMPUTER

thanks-
Hue Miller
