My 1975 ish Sansui is awesome. I have the paperwork from some work done about 10 years ago but it is not extensive. All big caps etc look original with no obvious signs of failure. Perfect channel match as far as my ear can tell. I debated but decided to leave it on 24/7 to keep from the current inrush of off and on from wearing it down. Maybe I’m right maybe not.
How old is too old (for SS gear)?
I've personally not been too concerned about the age of used solid state amps and preamps, but recently a few pieces of gear I've purchased have either A) bit the dust or B) starting to make weird noises.
So now, I'm a bit gun-shy about buying used gear much older than a few years.
Do you have a certain age limit when considering the purchase of used gear?
Thanks.
