Ceramic Capacitor Aging and Restoration

[bob91343]

Gads don't do that! All plastic parts will suffer. That includes dials, rubber feet, dial cords, windows, pointers, and many electronic components. Most consumer grade components are rated for 85C or so, and you will destroy the capacitors at least. Any moving parts will have lubrication run out. And you can say goodbye to any labels. Most plastic cabinets soften at ordinary hot summer temperatures, and that is seldom above 40C.
