If it's "new" in this sense, then it's old and never used, which, to
my way of thinking, means that it should be worth less. Having never
been used, some capacitors may have gone bad and the equipment hasn't
demonstrated that it's survived a burn-in period; the chances of
failure are higher. Hence, should not a NOS (new old stock) system
be worth less than a system that's been used, but not used enough to
have mechanical and electro-mechanical, components worn, or wearing,
out.
Any thoughts on this?
