im not in your league technically,but i was reading on a forgotten uk webpage that carbon resistors absorb moisture from the air i guess and become less resistive after long periods of disuse. it begs the question, "what happens as they warm and dry out.or do they?" nice radio i wish i had access to sets that nice.
