"Eeysore ****ing ASD ****ed Tenth Wit"



For any decently designed piece of equipment the idea that components will
wear
out by being switched on is a pure fiction.



** Shame about all valves, all forms of lamps, X caps, etc etc....


Certain components (notably electrolytic capacitors) *will* however wear
out by being left on.


** Electros deteriorate faster when left in storage, as compared to being
operated normally & at room temp.

Life is reduced by operation OR storage at elevated temps.
