I just got to pick through several crates of old Archer parts on 
cardboard cards. Got a lot of switches and knobs. Do capacitors, 
resistors, and diodes go bad if they've just been sitting in a box 
gathering dust for years? 
Thanks

One could argue that Archer (Rat Shack) parts were bad when they were 
new.

Nawww! I got some great knobs with red and green insets and an 
absolutely godless amount of ridiculously esoteric jack adapters ( 1/8" 
female to 3/32"male, rca mono to 1/8" male stereo), all old enough to 
bear "made in japan" on the cards.
