[QUOTE="Sten, post: 119276, member: 2243"] I said nothing about 40 years, however, I don't think that there exists an electrolytic cap, for example, that will meet it's original specs after that period. The point I was trying to make was that everything degrades with time - a direct consequence of the second law of thermodynamics. Of course, in practise, modern electronic kit that is well designed using good components and construction will generally last a lot longer than 18 years. But be fair, if you're plonking down 4.5 grand would the age of the kit not niggle a little? [/QUOTE]
