Technetters --

Hope someone can answer this ... how long will parts plated with tin/lead
remain solderable using regular tin/lead solder & RMA flux?   These are
metal parts - copper, brass and aluminum.  Brass & aluminum have nickel
underplate.  My supplier is telling me 12 months @ normal storage
conditions but my captive shop guy is saying "no way"...who's right?

Thanks!
