Are these resistances modern or historical models?

[Poppy]

Hi,
a bag of random resistances I'm considering to buy is presented with an example foto....

A few of them look like ones I've seen in very old hifi hardware. Are the R on this picture old or modern parts?


Thank you!

You have a mixture all of which are useful and mostly still current.

I agree with Jon, all useful.

Those parts are typical of what you would see in products in the 80's and 90's (and later) such as TV's and so on.

They look to be mainly wirewound power resistors, so the range of values may be quite limited.

 

[egellings]

They all seem to be currently available types.

Like, how useful is a 27kOhm 10W...?
(But top quality nevertheless.)

B+ bleeder?

All those parts in the picture are typical of what would be found in a toolbox or workshop of a TV engineer back in the day.

A few of those resistors look like metal oxide types and all would be very useful if addressing known stock faults on various products.

Main problem is resistor *values*.
If you get 10000 resistors for burger money but in values you never use, you should have better bought the burger instead 🙂
