Zitat von Ian King <IanK at vulcan.com>:
We've restored a 2065 that runs 24x7, and that's where we learned that you
can cross your fingers and pray, or recognize that even when they're
sitting on a shelf aluminum electrolytic capacitors (AlECs) degrade with
time.
I was involved in a project where we had to guarantee long term
availability of some
electronic circuits. At the end of it, we decided not to populate the
electrolytics and
store them on the shelf. There was an adpater build to
rejuvenate/reform them every few
years and test before being used.
Just storing them on a shelf is the worst thing you can do to them ;-)
