Of course you can use old comb.  We used it last year to get our girls going.  They moved into fully furnished condos!  :)

Unless you have had a disease issue, go for it.

I bought out an old beekeepers supplies. I'm new to the hobby with some exposure as a kid watching my dad raise bees. The epuipment I bought is from an old but successful beekeeper. He didn't have any problems with his stuff, just old age. So now i'm looking to use the stuff and don;t want to create any problems. Lots of boxes and frames.
