I have fifty 910 ohm 1/4W carbon composition resistors, still in the paper tape, which is labeled:
OHMITE
910 OHM 1/4 W 5% RC07GF911J OC9115Judging from the last line, they're 14 years old. They've never been used, AKA New Old Stock. Every resistor measures greater than 5%, some are over 1k. Over 14 years, would drift from aging cause them to go that far out of tolerance? I have carbon film resistore much older than these and they still measure within 5% tolerance, usually within 2%.
Thanks.
