[bars] Fw: [cca] A caution regarding replacing carbon resistors: Use Allen-Bradley -- if you can find them.

Interesting article about "olde tech".

I still have parts cabinets stuffed to the top with these and I test the entire drawer when I need to take one for a repair. A lot of the really, really old ones have drifted way beyond even their generous 10% tolerances of their day. A surprising number of them are still good, though.
