Why would solid state equipment fare better than tube equipment? This be a
true statement, but has nothing to do with tubes v. transistors. Aluminum cabinets probably fare better than steel cabinets. Older tube equipment sometimes has rubber for dials or tuning mechanism which wear out after 60 years. And, things that are 60 years old sometimes become brittle. But surprisingly, often replacement parts can be found for the older tube equipment with less energy than the more modern gear. Humidity is more of a concern than temperature. And, rodents can do an excellent job of destroying stored equipment. Best to store your furniture and move the old equipment into the living room. Colin K7FM |
