Bryston 7B (not SST or higher) still Viable Option


Been finding some Bryston 7B’s for sale.  I am guessing 1st generation but I am not sure because I recall Bryston’s original 7B were basically modified 4B’s. I believe those had a flat plane faceplate.   I have always wanted a pair but I will never be able to spend the dollars needed to buy any or the newer units.

are these still a viable option?  Are they known for any issues as they get older?  Anything I should look for?

Thanks.  Last time I heard them was 30 years ago when I was just getting into hi end audio.  
Thank you all for the info. Yes the capacitor thing of course is an issue with any amp
Well as I was looking at a set of Jeff Rowland monoblocks, a pair of 7BST’s from 1998 single owner original packaging hit eBay.  Location was 3 blocks from my office.  Near mint condition.  Took this as a sign and bought them.
