Well intentioned Eric erroneously informed everyone
that NOS means "New Old Stock" (new parts that never
sold). I disagree. New Old Stock is an urban myth!
From my experience I have to explain that it really
tends to indicate (K)nicked-up Old S***. I agree with
the new parts that never sold part. Dont expect NOS to
mean fabulously perfect and without endless shelf wear
or dry rot.
