Power Resistors in kits

Additional lead forming makes elevation of the component simpler for installation. Some power resistors are offered with elaborate extra bits to achieve this.

Yes, storing electronic equipment for extended periods kills the electrolytics, as TUTs describe a few times. No good comes from collecting amplifiers that are not powered regularly - guitars? fine - but not amps.

Have fun

So a cap job could fix that?

The guy said the amp would be useless.
To which I can now say "that's just, like, your opinion, man" (I haven't seen that movie, I just know the quote)

Yes.  I can't tell you how many amps that have been in storage or just not used I've had to re-cap for customers.  They will come right back to life!
