Factory service for products from the 90's


I would hope reputable companies would continue service for amps and preamps from the 90's. Your thoughts?

Nobody wants to stock and pay tax on repair inventory that might sit on the shelf for years. The 90s were 30 years ago, it's not very feasible or business smart to provide repair service for items that old. That is really asking for a lot, 10 years would be exceptional in today's market.  

Wasn’t "factory service" but I have had no problem getting servicing or repairs done on my McIntosh gear.

Some older gear is readily repairable as long as components are available, newer gear with specialized IC chips and the like are basically unrepairable once those components are out of stock.

I hear some Harley-Davidson shops won't work on bikes that are more than 10 years old. Man, that seems like it was yesterday.
