How did those old style 20% carbons check out? (Particularly
the ones with the rougher finish on the bakelite shell...) I usually
find many of them open or way high in value.


Surprisingly enough, I haven't had any problems with them.
What did die was the 950/950 Candelohm bolted to the chassis
and of course, the original sand-ohm 55/75 resister had a
case of seriously green leads.

Oddly enough, I'm finding yellow mylars with the same greenie
lead disease. One flex, and the lead is gone.

I assume you're talking about yellow caps from the early '60s?

Not the new ones we're all using now.
