Life expectancy of amp module

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi fellows.
Does anybody know what life expectancy to expect from a RCF amp module (for a ART 525a)?
Brand new, like still boxed and sealed.
It is dated late 2007, so almost 19 years old.
Its priced at 270€.

Would there be any possible issues with a old piece of electronics, thats been in storage for so long without use?

	What you want to use it for? If not for that particular RCF box, you never going to get it sound good. It is not processable. It has preset for that box only.

	It is for that exact RCF box. It let out that funny blue smoke couple of weeks ago followed by a more consistent black smoke. Popped it open and it was well done and crispy. So really cool to track down a brand new module.
