How long do Cassette Decks last

Just a curious question. How long do you think a well cared for cassette deck will last. One of the better models from Nakamichi, Tanberg, Revox, Pioneer etc. Can anyone estimate the hours they have on their old pal? Thanks.

If you're mechanical, you can probably do it yourself. The part is about $10.

It works just fine, although it hasn't probably received much use in the last 10 years, I still use it occasionally. I'm going to start recording again though -- making compilations from LPs. Why not burn CDs instead? Why indeed! Analog should stay analog is my position. And the tapes sound great!
