[NJARC] Resistors

Fri, 19 Mar 2004 08:55:15 -0600

All,
Actually I am serious, the problem with old (real old) resistors is the
number of them that are out of tolerance. I would guess that the initial
investment in the capacitor program was in the $200 dollar range.
Selecting values in the 100 ohm to 1 meg range at 10% would not be that
many values. Being stopped in a repair due to a missing resistor is a
pain.=20

The actual cost is the time involved in maintaining the inventory and
sorting. I have a number of new old stock resistors which I would donate
if someone is willing to do the work. I would expect there are many
other members with spare resistors.=20

I'm not sure if everyone would be happy putting carbon film resistors in
as replacements since they look very different but they are more stable.
Any comments.

Very funny, Steve. You are a card. Sal, you are too much. Har, har,
hardy,=20
har har.
Seriously, if we start small and simply sort out that big bag of
resistors we=20
might find that we have many useful values to get ourselves started. I
might=20
also have a few items to donate to the inventory. Richard, I think it
would be=20
great if someone can come up with a rack of bins into which we can sort
our=20
inventory. Then, we can track what sizes people seem to need most often
and,=20
ultimately, place our replenishment order from Mouser or some other
supplier.
