How long can a electrolytic capacitor last un-used?


Do electrolytic capacitors have a shelf life? I’ve an opportunity to buy an mono amplifier with 20 year old capacitors that have under 700 hours total use. The amps sound perfect without any issues. VTL Siegfried MK 1.

Give VTL a call and see what they have to say. With the SN they may be able to provide manufacturing date.
