[NJARC] "Brand New" 1970 caps

[Stephen Cafiero]

Radio experts,
	I am about to build a brand new, out of the box, 1970 Heathkit AR-29 stereo receiver.  I have not even unpacked it yet.  The plan is to check all resistors and change any that are out of tolerance, and replace all of the electrolytic caps.  I have an ESR meter, and did consider just replacing the bad ones, but I have read that the worst thing you can do to electrolytic is not use them.
	Also, does rosin core solder go bad after decades of storage?  Anything else I should be aware of?  
I appreciate any and all opinions.
Steve Cafiero
