Ageing PCBs that went through a soldering wave bath usually give
problems after several years.

Prior to surface mounting virtually *every* production-soldered
circuit card was wave soldered. Wave soldeing done right generally
yields highly reliable equipment. I'm talking mil-spec, commercial
grade, and r installed communcations equipment that runs flawlessly
for decades.

And the OP was talking cheap Kenwood receiver.
Your point being, oh obtuse one?

Most large producers solder all their boards in the same tank - so a
cheap Kenwood receiver has boards soldered in the same tank as the
expensive ones.

So you're equating mil-spec, commercial grade and r installed
communications equipment to your average Kenwood receiver?

No Sander, I'm just saying that they were very likely all wave-soldered,
proving that wave-soldering is not necessarily the horror you made it out to
be.
